DIY "Thumbody Loves You" Stone Drink Coasters

Start with plain tumbled stone 4x4 tiles available at any home improvement store, Home Depot etc.  Spread paint out on a plastic plate for thumb/handprints. Let your kids go crazy with the thumbprints.  Wish I had a picture of that step, but it got a little crazy with my baby and the paint! Then, take the sharpie pen and write your message on the tile.
Supplies used: Mod Podge Shimmer, Sharpie pen, paint brush, paint and 4x4 tumbles stone tiles
The handprints are fun too!  Gotta love my littlest one's smeared handprint!
Once your design is done with the paint, use the Mod Podge Shimmer to lightly seal the tiles.  The Shimmer really brings out the color in the tile, while protecting those precious thumb/handprints!
Next, add circle or square felt pads to the back of the tiles to keep from scatching the furniture they are supposed to be protecting.
What do you get for grandparents, aunts, uncles etc. who have everything?  "Thumbody Loves You" drink coasters!  Perfect craft for all ages to do.
