You can paint decorative designs onto tiles for an artistic effect.
Paint artwork designs onto ceramic tiles to create unique trivets for any occasion. Or, you can match the painted designs to the d cor and style of your room for a cohesive interior design. Achieving a painted design on tile is not difficult and you can use the process to decorate other tiled surfaces in your home.
Instructions
1. Place the tile on a work surface with the top, white side, facing up.
2. Paint a design on the tile using the craft paints and paint brushes. The design can be simple line drawings or a complex composition. Practice drawing the design on paper prior to painting it onto the tile.
3. Allow the paint to dry 24 hours. Spray a clear acrylic varnish over the painted tile to seal it. Allow the varnish to dry 72 hours before handling.
4. Turn the tile over and place one felt furniture pad on each corner with the adhesive side toward the bottom of the tile to protect furniture surfaces from the trivet.
