| This is a great gift for the grandparents. wooden Photo Tiles *Square wood scraps (mine were 2″x2″ and they were left over from one of my husband's projects) *Photos printed to match the size of your squares (I printed my photos & descriptions onto cardstock) *Photo descriptions printed to match the size of your squares 1.Cut out your photos and mod podge (is that a verb??? Well, it is now) them to one side of your wood chip and let dry. 2. Mod Podge your photo description to the other side of your chip and let dry. 3. When your chips are completely dry, ink the sides of your wood (I used just a plain black stamp pad), and the corners of your photos (if you wish I like the distressed, inky look). Let the ink dry and apply another layer of Mod Podge over the photos and sides of the chips. Do this last mod-podging carefully I've noticed that ink doesn't really dry completely over the Mod Podge & it smears pretty easily the last layer will seal it, but it can get pretty messy. You can also use paint (which works better) or you can ink your wood edges & photographs before you even glue them to the wood then the layers of Mod Podge will seal them. |

| I have made these a few times, and after the first time of not sealing them, I learned: use MARINE varnish to seal them - otherwise, they will get milky and nasty from drinks sitting on them, and especially hot drinks. |
