Mosaic Tile Coffee Table Diy

I love finding old vintage coffee tables in auctions and could instantly see the potential in this little piece.

Mosaic tile coffee table diy.

If i had more time i would probably cut them with a 45 degree miter. 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. Mosaic tile on a coffee table made easy.

Better homes and gardens step 8 starting at 1 corner of tabletop stick tiles to timber. Fix the tiles with an adhesive. Finish tile coffee table. Again a nicer and more refined finish.

Sometimes even a favorite coffee table can become dated or perhaps merely boring. It s hard to throw away a good piece of furniture just because it no. 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. Next prepare the table top by sanding cleaning and sealing the surface.

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. Then glue the tiles to the surface of the table working from the outside in as you recreate your design. Step 7 working with 1 sheet of tiles at a time place a dot of mosaic adhesive on the back of each tile.

The choice of colours and design is the tricky but fun part.
