[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]When you\u2019re finally done with your renovations and construction sites, you can often find yourself with some leftover tiles. If you\u2019re reading this, you are probably asking yourself <\/span>what to do with it<\/span><\/b>. Well, first, did you know that you have 30 days to bring your tiles back in one of La Tuilerie stores, under certain conditions? Although, make sure to keep a few tiles on hand in case your floor ever cracks or breaks.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even so, you still have leftover ceramic tiles? Don\u2019t worry! We gathered 10 incredible DIY projects for you to get a little crafty. <\/span>Let\u2019s get started!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

1- <\/span>Cover Your Desk <\/span>with<\/span> Oversized Tiles<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

For this project, the desk was just the perfect size to fit two 24\u201dx24\u201d <\/span>Venexia<\/span><\/a> tiles. See the before & after. It\u2019s amazing! No mortar or cement required! Simply drop (carefully!) the tiles on the desk. The weight of the tile itself will make it stay put.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”63004″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/www.latuilerie.com\/en\/products\/venexia-porcelain-terrazzo-look\/”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”63006″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/www.latuilerie.com\/en\/products\/venexia-porcelain-terrazzo-look\/”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

2- C<\/span>reate <\/span>A Personalized <\/span>Table Top<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”63008″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/www.latuilerie.com\/en\/product-category\/all-tiles\/motifs-en\/”][vc_column_text]\ud83d\udee0<\/span> For Builders & Experts<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another piece of furniture. After the desk, here is the table! Super simple to make, all you need is a wooden table that you would like to cover. A wood pallet can be a great idea for a coffee table. Also, some ceramics are suited to outdoor use, so make sure to check what type of ceramic you have. If it\u2019s the case, you could use your DIY as a garden table or to decorate your porch. You could also add trims using wood sticks cut to the right size and painted the colour you want. After that, simply add the mortar, the tiles, and eventually, the grout if you want visible joints. Here you go! A custom table that is 100% in line with your tastes and d\u00e9cor.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

3- <\/span>Make Ceramic Tile Coasters<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”63012″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/www.latuilerie.com\/en\/products\/kromatica\/”][vc_column_text]\ud83d\udee0<\/span> For Beginners<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So easy to make!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gather all necessary tools and material:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Heat, water and scratch-resistant multi-surface paint<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • A paint brush<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Masking tape<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Felt pads<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Metallic paint pen (for the tile edges)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Follow these 6 easy steps to complete this ceramic DIY:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. Use the masking tape to mark the area to paint. Make sure that the tape sticks perfectly to the surface, so the paint doesn\u2019t go underneath. Now, have fun painting your tile or creating original patterns.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Lay one or several coats of paint, depending on the desired effect. The darker the tile is, the more coats of paint you will need for an even result.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. Carefully remove the tape once the paint is dry.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. Dip a cotton swab in nail polish remover if you need to make some touch-ups.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
      5. Colour the tile edges with your metallic paint pen.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
      6. Add the felt pads underneath your tile. That\u2019s it<\/span>! You\u2019re done \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        4-<\/span> Make a<\/span> Ceramic Planter<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

        [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”63010″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/www.latuilerie.com\/en\/products\/artisan\/”][vc_column_text]\ud83d\udee0<\/span> For Beginners<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        So easy and trendy! Let\u2019s see how to create your own planters from your leftover ceramic tiles in 5 minutes tops.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        Gather all necessary tools and material:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
          \n
        • 4 or 5 ceramic tiles \u2013 we recommend using rectified tiles for this.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Superglue<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n
          • 1 empty 2-liter plastic bottle<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
          • 1 pair of scissors<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            Follow these 5 easy steps to make this ceramic planter:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
              \n
            1. Gather your 4 or 5 tiles. Put one tile right side down on your work surface (previously lined with a protective cloth). Add a line of superglue along one of the edges.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
            2. Working quickly, place another tile at a 90-degree angle on the glue line, and hold it in place until the glue has dried.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
            3. Repeat the previous step with the two remaining tiles. If the glue takes some time to dry, you could hold the planter in place using rubber elastics until everything is dry and you get a cube shape. If you have a fifth tile, you can now add it using the same method.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
            4. Cut the bottom part of your plastic bottle so it fits perfectly in your planter.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
            5. Add your soil and plants in the plastic bottle and that\u2019s it! Your personalized tile planter!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
