Baby Shower Favors

Here's what you'll need:
  • Black Staz-On Ink
  • Sharpie Markers
  • 2x2 tiles (from Home Depot)
  • Acrylic Sealer
  • Gorilla Glue
  • Magnets (can get at HD also)
Cut the tiles apart with sharp scissors, but be careful not to nick the edges. Stamp images in black Staz On ink. Then, color images with Sharpies. Then, you use the acrylic sealer to seal the images. I used a glossy finish (versus matte finish), just because that's what I already had. Make sure to spray several VERY LIGHT coats (like a fine mist that you just let fall onto the tiles, the Staz On will still run if you get too much sealer on at once). After a few light coats, you can go a LITTLE heavier. I usually do about 4-5 coats of sealer. The sealer isn't really required, but if someone touches the magnet with wet hands, the StazOn ink will run. I glued mine on with Gorilla glue.

These little tiles make a fun gift! I put mine in little organdy bags that I found at Michael's in the bridal section.
