Fix the tiles with an adhesive.

Mosaic tile coffee table diy.

Remove glass top i remove safely the top of table and clean the top ready for design. Pva glue edges i decide to use 10 mm black vitreous glass tiles that are all pre cut and can be laid directly. Step 7 working with 1 sheet of tiles at a time place a dot of mosaic adhesive on the back of each tile. Next prepare the table top by sanding cleaning and sealing the surface.

To make a mosaic table top smash your tiles into different shapes or buy premade pieces then arrange them into your desired design on a sheet of butcher paper. Then glue the tiles to the surface of the table working from the outside in as you recreate your design. Again a nicer and more refined finish. I love to create functional pieces of art and seeing this old vintage coffee table where the broken glass top was removed and i saw underneath was plywood which is fine to lay tiles directly onto.

Sometimes even a favorite coffee table can become dated or perhaps merely boring. I cover the top of the table with white paper and use pva glue to fix. Make sure to keep the trim flush with the outside of the table top. I love finding old vintage coffee tables in auctions and could instantly see the potential in this little piece.

Finish tile coffee table. Better homes and gardens step 8 starting at 1 corner of tabletop stick tiles to timber. It s hard to throw away a good piece of furniture just because it no. If i had more time i would probably cut them with a 45 degree miter.

I just butted the flat edges of the wood trim together.
