Megan from The CraftyCPA created these funky coasters using tiles, paint chips and Mod Podge, she offers a full tutorial and tips, as well as a few things she would change if she were to make them up again!

I love the thought of creating all four designs that Katy has made, framing them in some op-shop frames spray painted bright colours and hanging them in a group somewhere in the house – I [...]
