glass tile pendants
Joyfilled Family links to a great tutorial on lovely tile pendants...be sure to click here to see more of the images seen in the photo above. Glass tiles could make cute pins or hair accessories-just glue on the appropriate findings.

Read the tutorial, then here are some hints for a group:
HT: Shelly
Read the tutorial, then here are some hints for a group:
- precut the images, or print them in an easy-to-cut format
- adhere the image early in the meeting to allow drying time before painting on the finishing glaze, OR extend this to a two-meeting craft.
- if adding bails for a pendant, an adult should use the E-6000 glue in a well-ventilated area.
Spoon Saints
Alice's spoon saints are simply precious, and so versatile for any age crafter, any saint.
I love these so much!

tile coasters
First...
Visualize really pretty images vs. Peanuts comics...
Like this one:
...and this one- both found at Graphics Fairy.
(click SEARCH tab, then click "religious" or "flowers")
Only supplies needed:
- 16 cent tiles
- Mod Podge (or 3 parts white glue, 1 part water, add 2 Tbsp varnish for shine)
- pretty printouts of your saint or flower. (I recommend laser prints or color copies, as inkjet tends to smear if overworked...)
*Update- I've seen several pretty coaster tutorials online- theirs are more time-intensive, yet more durable. I understand that unless you seal these with a polyurethane spray, that the Mod Podge is not entirely waterproof. Also, heat can damage the surface. Eep.
Soooo.... see Prudent Baby for a more durable, yet time-consuming, probably-not-one-meeting craft. Otherwise, be sure to offer the disclaimer for the above coasters:
light use, no hot beverages.
