If you have a lot of broken pieces of glass to use, use those. Have lots of sandpaper, manual and electric sanders, and safety gloves and safety glasses for everyone. To use a special electric saw for cutting tile, you will need extra safety precautions plus it will create lots of dust. That’s why I suggest prebroken glass and tile and lots of sanders, Ochwoman. Have fun with your crafting evening! That sounds like a natural for a Hometalk video. ☺️
You can get some tile cutting pliers for straight cuts. Tile nippers to cut patterns and curves. For plates and random cuts just lay the plates/glass on a towel, cover with another towel and hammer away. Make sure you use eye protection.
Yes. Smoothing the edges of the materials and sanding them to the shape you want. Cutting tiles is hard work. Cutting glass can be very dangerous. But your family can take the proper precautions and see that your guests do, too, and have a safe creative evening. ☺️
Gloves and safety glasses, first and foremost!
