Wow! Thanks so much! I actually just came from a Habitat for Humanity Restore (they sell used home improvement stuff to raise money for Habitat) and I really thought I could make coasters, but wasn't sure how. I searched, and here this was!

I am a big fan of your work. Thanks so much for sharing this and all of your tutorials. Fantastic!

You can apply the UTEE while the top layer of decoupage glue is still tacky. Or, you can use a clear embossing ink. I've had success using both methods.

If you use the embossing enamel, can you apply it directly to the paper layer? Or does there need to be some clear ink or something for it to stick to?

Luthien, have fun making presents! That's what I've been doing all day. :D

Marian, you can use those tiles. Those are exactly the kind I used for this tutorial. I use a decoupage glue called 'Art Potch' and a varnish called 'Marabu Aqua'. Maybe they have the same kind in the Netherlands? These are just normal brands that I found in the craft store, nothing fancy. :)

Very interesting. I've missed so many of your posts! I haven't just been staring at my belly button, I wish, just swamped with work.
Can this be made on any tile... I mean, those porelain tiles, the common ones for bathrooms which have llike a glazing on top (I have a box left from when we re did the bathroom!), what typf of glue would work there?? any? or a special decoupage one... any ideas
