Great Homemade Photo Gift

With the Holiday season upon us many of us are looking for inexpensive Holiday gifts.
So far my most favorite photo gift idea is Photo Coasters.
I have looked online and found several variations and this is what worked for me!

Materials:
4x6 pictures or 5x7
old Cd's
Card Stock
Spray adhesive (I used Elmer's Craft Bond)
Clear Glaze (I used Krylon Triple-thick Crystal Clear glaze)

Now the process!!!
On a piece of of paper lay your CD with the writing face down
spray on the adhesive and quickly place photo.
Do this for all coasters

Go Back and trim the picture to fit around the CD

Next take your stock paper and do the same process.

Last you take your glaze spray one side and let dry for an hour or more
flip and repeat.
You can add as many coats as you want.

Tips:
-If you prefer you can use laminating paper instead of glaze
-take your time and make sure glue and glaze dry before your next step.
-If it comes apart don't be afraid to spray more glue to attach it.
-Follow all directions on glue and spray's.
