Tile coasters

This is not a terribly exciting project, but they're just so cute that I had to show you. There's a fun store full of bizarre junk (and treasures) on Wealthy called Phil's Stuff. Phil has a collection of really beautiful painted tiles that I've been wanting to use for a while.

I've been looking for ways to pick up the hand-painted Italian theme in the living room, where these pillows have been on their own.

I had been thinking about making a tiled tray, but I wasn't sure how much I would use it. I finally decided to stick felt on them and call them coasters. Just one packet of felt was enough for 9 tiles, with some left over.

Look how beautifully the angles turned out!

...on some of them, anyway.

I'm starting to sense a theme. 

Do you have any themes that keep cropping up?
