You can use tiles for flooring, countertops, or decorations. Did you have any specific project in mind?
Do you have extra tiling from a project? Or are you doing a project. If you have extra tiling....definitely keep some around in case you have to replace tiles that break or chip. Also, I have used extra large tile on an end table. You can do mosaic projects. Lots of possibilities and we could give you a better answer if you have a more specific question.
Hello Sharon! What did you want to use tiles for? There are many kinds of tiles for many different purposes so if you could give us an idea of what you'd like to do we can help you out!
Tile can be used for backsplashes, floors, and much more.
It will depend on what they are but you can make coasters, put on a table top, a cupboard flat surface, back splash - kitchen or bath, an outdoor pathway, and many more uses.
Sharon: maybe these will help
