Tile Coasters

Tile coasters are very hot right now. It is because you can print anything on them. They especially suit older works of art and if you go onto any of the big sites you will see that many types of tile coasters have actually now become collector’s items. They actually look like reproductions of vintage postcards with images on them by Diego Riviera, Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Frida Kahlo and others.

You can also get humorous ceramic tiles. These have jokes, political statements or funny images on them. An example would be the image of a piggy bank saying the phrase “Change is good.” You can also get the old iconic signs like a big peace symbol, the big love image with the crooked “L” or the smiley face.

One drawback of tile coasters is that they are fragile and that they do break easily. Sometimes the condensation from the glass creates suction and this causes the drink coaster (http://www.thirstycoasters.com/servlet/-strse-Themed-Gift-Sets/Categories) to stick to the tile. This is usually noticed to late by the user of the glass and the tile smashes to the floor.

One of the most unique developments in the industry of tile coasters is AbsorbaStone. These are coasters that work great and look great .They have a textured finish that keeps them from bonding with the bottom of the glass so it does not pick the tile up, drop it and smash it.

This type of coaster is usually backed by cork to keep them skid free. This technology is also used to make cutting boards, trivets and memo boards. Another popular type of coaster is the recycled variety. These are made from recycled ceramic tiles. Images are painted on them and then they are lacquered so they are durable.

Thinking of getting a tile coaster of a different sort? You can now get tile coasters (http://www.thirstycoasters.com/servlet/-strse-1123/Air-Force-Academy-Box/Detail) that are actually made out of SCRABBLE Tiles. These are easy to make yourself. You simply glue Scrabble tiles to thin cork sheets in clever drink related patterns and then coat the whole thing with a sealant.

You can buy about 100 regular wooden tiles for about 0 from Hasbro, the manufacturer of Scrabble tiles. You can also go to garage sales and buy old games and collect the tiles for making your own tile coasters that way.

There are also plenty of places online where you can get your business logo branded onto some tile coasters. These make a great Christmas gift. These places online that sell customized tiles tend to allow you to upload some kind of image of your own which they then print onto the tile.

You usually order these in bulk although some suppliers of tile coasters will let you do this one by one. These can make great corporate Christmas gifts. The beauty is you can have any type of message printed up on a ceramic tile the way you can a button or a T-shirt or a mug. It is a great way to get the word out about your product.

Loc The Albatross Pub, Hearst & San Pabloa, Berkeley

After our trip to the pier we went to an amazing games pub in Berkley called The Albatross, it seemed really friendly and you could play anything from Boggle to Scrabble all of which were behind the bar. The table next to us were playing Magic The Gathering. Also they had a bowl for popcorn at and I had a white wine spritzer. A jolly good evening out.

Scrabble Tile Pendants – Lots of Fun!

Scrabble Tile Pendants – Lots of Fun!

Scrabble tile pendants are whimsical pieces of jewelry made from upcycled scrabble game pieces. There are literally hundreds of different styles of pendants, from cute to strange, simple to extravagant. They make excellent gifts for birthdays, Mother’s Day, Christmas, Valentine’s Day or any other holiday you can think of! They can also make very nice charms for special occasions such as weddings. Most importantly, they are a way to show your unique style. With all of the designs available out there you’re sure to find one that is absolutely perfect for you!

Lots of people have fun making their own scrabble tile pendants. First you need to raid your mom’s old scrabble set and steal those game pieces! You then need to choose what sort of image you would like on your tile. It could be anything from some pretty decorative paper, to a magazine clipping, a photograph, or even a graphic you’ve designed yourself and printed. Cut your paper down to the size of the scrabble tile and then glue it to the blank side, leaving the letter side visible. Use your initial for a personalized touch! Once the paper is glued to the tile you need to cover it with a clear finish. There are many non-toxic water based glazes available which make this step very easy and hazard-free.

Make sure you let the glaze dry thoroughly before you proceed to the next step- even overnight. Now there are a few ways to attach a bail to your pendant. Some people like to drill a hole through the very top of the pendant, front to back, and attach a clip bail. This will cover some of your image, however it does give a very nice effect. Some people like to screw a very small eye-screw into the top of the pendant and then include a jump ring to run their necklace through. Lastly, you can find glue-on bails for another nice effect. Finish with a chain or necklace of your choice and voila! Your very own scrabble tile pendant!

You can find Scrabble tile pendants at a variety of places, you just need to keep a keen eye out to spot them. Probably the most obvious answer to the question “where can I buy one of these?” is: Online! Do a quick internet search and you’ll be greeted with many tempting options in a variety of styles and price ranges. Another great place to look is at local craft shows. You can help support your local artisans this way, and also find something really unique and personal to show off your style. You can find local craft shows by doing an internet search for your city, or also check out your local newspaper. Lastly, always be on the lookout for trendy indie boutiques. These will be in cities big and small and often carry a variety of items from local, national and international artisans. If you can’t find them- ask! The owner of the boutique know a great little spot to check out. Good luck in your search!
