DIY Tile Trays

I'm loving this quick and easy DIY project!  It simply transforms any messy countertop into a beautiful and organized work of art!  No exaggeration - I promise.  

After remodeling our house a few years ago, we had a bunch of left-over tiles.  I thought -- Wait a second!!  Those would be gorgeous TRAYS!  So, I dusted them off, and voila!  My messy bathroom countertop -- is now so pretty!

BEFORE...How UNINSPIRED, right?!!

AFTER...So much better!!

Here's what you need...

Easy breezy.  I'm thinking this may be the easiest DIY project I have ever done!

  1. Tile (I used porcelain - it looks just like marble!)
  2. Heavy duty glue (I used gorilla glue. NOT the kind that you need water for - we don't want the glue expanding!)
  3. Handles (Make sure the handles have enough flat surface area - so the glue has something to stick to!)
  4. Heavy duty felt pads
  5. Measuring tape or ruler
  6. Pencil 

Here's how you make it...

  1. Clean the surface of your tile.
  2. Flip the tile over -- and stick on the adhesive felt pads to all four corners.
  3. Flip the tile right-side-up again.
  4. Measure and mark where the handles should go.  You have to make sure they are even!!  This part will take the longest.
  5. Apply the glue directly to the tile -- Just one dot!!  One dot of glue for each end of the handles.
  6. Allow the handles to FULLY dry for one - two days.  Don't even bother testing to see if it's ready. Just wait it out!!  You will be happy!!!
