How to Create a Lovely Mosaic Tray Table
I saw this sturdy tray table for a bargain price and the design wasn’t m style but I saw it as an opportunity
I begin to place some small glass mosaic tiles in colours orang yellow red around the very edge with PVA glue and build up a first layer.
I build up in mix of citrus colours and a few alternate rows of black and white to create some contrast and interest in the design.
It begins to grow and develop a character and I alternate with some large cream tiles as well as rows or smaller ones.
Finally I slot in and glue the centre tiles into position and leave the tray to dry over night.
The next step when it’s all dry is grouting. I use ready mixed black grout and a Flexi card or plastic to work into all the crevices and edges.
It takes a while to tidy it up and after some time it cleans up well and eventually it’s ready and complete. Time for The big reveal !
I am so thrilled with this makeover and what a bright way to be served breakfast in bed or as a low additional pop up table for toddlers to eat or play on.

It’s gorgeous! I have all this sea glass I’ve collected throughout the years and I want to make a mosaic piece something similar to this one. Any pointers?
