Mindy on Jan 20, 2014buy a 6x6" tile at Home Depot and glue these tiles onto the back (unglazed side) and make a mosaic trivet. You will need to grout the trivet after letting the glue dry for 24 hours. Makes a great gift!Helpful Reply

Sfg178760 on Jan 22, 2014Mid Century Tile Top Tables are kind of popular right now...and are kind of timeless to me! http://pickedvintage.com/2012/08/13/mid-century-modern-tiled-coffee-table/ I think those tiles in your photo would be great for project like this. I wish I thought of that ... when we used similar tiles for a kitchen re-model (actual tear down completely). But I did sell them at a yard sale because I knew someone would make use of them!Helpful Reply

Carol on Jan 22, 2014A good opertunity to learn a new craft...fused glass. Or glue picture behind transparent ones and plastic magnets to back for frig magnets. Decorate with a sharpie and bake to make design permanent. Attach a wire to corner and a bit of chain or wirefor wine glass identifiers. Form in a ring for napkin rings. Make a garden gazing ball with bowling ball. Your options are endless. Forgot to mention a wind chime or decorate a metal or plastic bathroom set (soap dish, tissue box cover, waste paper can and toothbrush holder). Decorate window box or basket for towels in the bathroom. I can think of a thousand more. Check Pinterest mosaic and tile pinsHelpful Reply
