You Can Make A Dry Erase Tile

There are a few different methods to chose from when making a dry erase tile. I'll share 2 of them here.

You'll need:
A Glossy Tile (any size)
StazOn Ink
Stamps (I used SU's Like It A Latte)
Heat Tool (or an oven set on low heat)
Glossy Acrylic Sealer or Clear Embossing Powder



1. Wash and dry your tile. Make sure it's really dry. Stamp your image in StazOn ink and immediately wash your stamp off, as this ink is very permenant.


2. If you choose to have a smooth tile, you'll want to use the acrylic spray. So you'll want to either heat set with a heat tool or in a low temp oven. If you'd like a raised image you need to pour embossing powder on your image while it's still wet and then heat set. If you choose to use a heat tool it will take FOREVER to set the embossing powder. This is however, the method I do because I can monitor it more closely.


3. If you embossed, you're done now. If you chose to spray, you'll now need to mask off the tile leaving only the image exposed. Spray about 12 inches away to avoid running ink. Let dry, and you're done. A note: do not get ink on the image regardless of the method you used. It will become permenant if it touches the image.


You can stand it in a wood block w/ a notch cut in, place it on a photo easel or apply a strong magnet to the back and hang it on the fridge.

Note: Since the original posting I've received a tip from a fellow stamper. She stamped the image, embossed, and then pressed packing tape over the image. She then cut around the tape, leaving the image covered so as to protect it from ink that may stain the image. Thanks Julie H. for the tip! (She suggested it would be more child friendly that way.)

Stamp Tiles to make Magnets

These make nice personalized magnets for the home or office. Gather your supplies before you start and you'll be done in no time!

2" tumbled (not polished) tiles
A stamp set(s) of your choice (I used Stampin' Up's Fantastic Folliage)
StazOn ink (I offer the StazOn cleaner too, as it is very permenant ink and needs to be cleaned off immediately after each stamping)
Chalk Pastels (I used Stampin' Up's Stampin' Pastels)
A matte finish sealer
Very strong magnets, not pictured


1. Thuroughly clean and dry the tiles. Stamp image in StazOn ink. You may want to immediately clean the stamp to avoid permenant staining. If you don't have StazOn Cleaner, use an old toothbrush (or your husband's!) and running water. Let image dry.


2. Color image with chalks and blow off any excess dust.


3. Spray with matte sealer. Make sure that you hold the spray can about 12 inches away from the tile to avoid running and smearing. Let dry.


4. Adhere magnets to the backs of the tiles.
