How to Make Ceramic Photos for Headstones

Ceramic photos for headstones are a beautiful and lasting way to remember a loved one. They are also relatively easy to make, and can be done at home with a few simple materials.

Materials:

- Ceramic tiles (6"x6" or 8"x8")

- Photo of your loved one (digital or printed)

- Mod Podge

- Foam brush

- Clear coat spray

- Scissors

- Paper trimmer

- Pencil

Instructions:

1. Print or cut your photo to the size of the ceramic tile.

2. Use the foam brush to apply a thin, even coat of Mod Podge to the front of the tile.

3. Carefully place the photo onto the tile, face up.

4. Use a ruler and pencil to draw a line around the photo, 1/4 inch from the edge.

5. Use the scissors or paper trimmer to cut the excess photo around the line.

6. Use the foam brush to apply another thin, even coat of Mod Podge over the photo.
