While searching for creative DIY projects to give for Christmas gifts this year I came across this fun and simple idea: Picture Tiles. Not only were these tiles easy to make but yes, you guessed it, frugal as well! I had pictures printed at Walgreens for 29 cents a piece, each tile at Menards was less than a $1, Walmart had the cheapest photo stands coming in at a whopping $2, and I splurged on the Mod Podge which was around $5 with a coupon at Michael's. (The modge podge will go a long way. I only used about 1/4 of the bottle to complete 8 tiles.) I also chose to add scrapbook paper to my tiles which I found for 25 cents a sheet. When it was all said and done my grand total on each tile came to about $3.75. This project was fun, fast and frugal!
