What can you do with a left over tile?

Very possibly you might have a few 4-6” tiles stacked in your garage or basement somewhere.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By placing a piece of duct tape down first and then gluing a piece of foam on top, you have the base for a floral arrangement.

 

The duct tape adds some roughness to the smooth tile so the foam won’t pop off the tile.  (Another reason you need your own roll of duct tape from your husband’s must have items)

 

It’s a good idea to place floral tape around the outside edges of the tile or spray paint the edges black so the white doesn’t show when the arrangement is in place.

 

 

Viola!

With lots of grasses, pods, pieces of greenery….

 

 

Feathers, odds and ends and a little time, you can turn a tile into a shelf arrangement.

 

These little tight pieces also work well on a bookshelf.  You can make them any height or width that is needed to fit a space.

 

They work well nestled up next to a vase, and perhaps sitting on top of a book.  Sorry I don’t have pictures of that but I’m sure you can envision it.  Often times designers will choose these tile arrangements to have in a pinch for decorating their client’s homes.  They are small but add so much to an overall bookcase, mantle or hanging shelf/wall sconce.

 

 

It’s a great way to use up odds and ends if you have a silk floral stash.  Be creative and try all sorts of elements together!  Your friends will be amazed at your one of a kind tile arrangement!
