YouTube: How To Tile An Outdoor Table
Come on an *extreme* upcycling adventure with me and learn how to tile an outdoor table on YouTube!
Learn how to tile an outdoor table as I help my friend Ellen transform an old outdoor picnic table (without a tabletop - eeeep!) using paint, grout and tiles! You guys overwhelmingly suggested we tile the tabletop on Instagram, so that's what we did. You'll also learn a nifty leaf blower hack, how to use a paint gun and tile a table with wide grout lines.
When I think about what Ellen's table looked like before, my mind is completely blown. It was ready to be taken to the tip or used as firewood, but Ellen and I both knew it had so much potential. What I love most about this project is that Ellen thrifted the tiles from a charity shop for an absolute bargain, you can still see the ornate texture of the timber grain after we painted the timber, and deciding to hand lay the tiles individually with wide grout lines totally elevated this project. And seeing Ellen and Lukes faces light up with huge smiles when it was finished brought all the warm 'n' fuzzy feelings.
I really hope this project inspires you to tile your own outdoor table; you'll find the links to the materials and tools we used in the YT episode description. You can easily recreate this project on lots of different tables and I cannot wait to see you create. Happy making!
What’s happening over on YouTube?
Every month I'll be going to someone's house and helping them upcycle a piece of furniture or home decor they no longer love, but don't want to throw out in favour of buying something else. My purpose is to reduce the impact of fast furniture by showing you how you can breathe new life into pieces you already have at home.
