Is it possible to use Google Material Icons as background like this, without converting it to an image first?

Here's a jsfiddle of this kind of thing: https://jsfiddle.net/hcu0dp98/
Not the prettiest example, and it uses font-awesome, but the concept should get you where you're going. :)
And the fix with Google Material Icons :-) Thanks for the help

I also fixed so it can't be selected and the pointer doesn't change to text
The positioning is better taken out as it needs to be fixed per icon.
