Mrs. Fixit: Reusing Leftover Tile

Saturday, October 12, 2013

Left over square tiles from a kitchen or bath remodel can be inspiration for new project that can add a little whimsy to your life!

If you have smaller 3 to 6 inch tiles&consider making an outdoor garden tic-tac-toe board.

All you need are 9 square tiles, and 10 smooth/flat stones for markers, a can of spray paint, and some acrylic paints.

Give your stones a good coat of (textured) spray paint..and let them dry.

Use some acrylic paint to add some imagination to come up with two designs ..one for each set of 5 stones.

You can make it as simple as using white acrylic paint to mark half of your stones with o's and the other half with x's&

Or come up with some fun designs&like ½ ladybugs and ½ bees!

Now lay out your square tiles on the grass in a 3 x 3 grid. If you have thicker tiles..you may want to carve away the grass and bed them down. How cute is this?

Adorable&and do-able!! Try it&I'm Mrs. Fixit and it's just that simple!
