Mosaic Tile Coffee Table Diy

I cover the top of the table with white paper and use pva glue to fix.

Mosaic tile coffee table diy.

Mosaic tile on a coffee table made easy. Step 7 working with 1 sheet of tiles at a time place a dot of mosaic adhesive on the back of each tile. Remove glass top i remove safely the top of table and clean the top ready for design. Again a nicer and more refined finish.

Fix the tiles with an adhesive. Then glue the tiles to the surface of the table working from the outside in as you recreate your design. Sometimes even a favorite coffee table can become dated or perhaps merely boring. 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.

I love finding old vintage coffee tables in auctions and could instantly see the potential in this little piece. This gives me a clean base to see a design more clearly and the tiles then can be stuck straight on to the paper which also helps with adhesion grip. I just butted the flat edges of the wood trim together. Next prepare the table top by sanding cleaning and sealing the surface.

The choice of colours and design is the tricky but fun part. Better homes and gardens step 8 starting at 1 corner of tabletop stick tiles to timber. Pva glue edges i decide to use 10 mm black vitreous glass tiles that are all pre cut and can be laid directly. Make sure to keep the trim flush with the outside of the table top.

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.
