I am watching this in 2020. Six years after you made the video. So now I am wondering if your patterned tiles have held up to the test of time and heavy use in a kitchen. How do they look now?
Hi, they held up really well. Unfortunatly due to moving house and having a smaller kitchen I don't have the island anymore but the tiles held well for a few years. The island got a medium amount of use not too heavy. Hope this answer helped
I have a question that might have already been answered and I do not feel like scrolling through all the comments. When using the de coupage glue, after several times in letting it dry, is it possible that it may come apart when you put a wet condensation drink or glass on top? Thanks for any reply.
Hi Jay, I never had that problem. Several layers of decoupage glue (especially waterproof one) should make it strong enough. If you are worried about it but maybe use a coaster just in case?
Hi, any tiles you have lying around will be great for this. Or otherwise very plain ones you can find in the DIY shop, no use spending lots of money on fancy ones as you are covering them up :)
I'm a fine arts's student so we are learning tile designs straight lines and curved lines but I'm still having hard time to make them... could you please tell me any easy way to make them?
Hi, sorry can't be much help on that one. For these tiles I used patterned paper to give them their design and I doodled a bit with a marker. Maybe for your lines you can use a template? Good luck!
I want to make tiles for floor. Tiles with photo s and patterns. They will be scratched often during cleaning. Which glue any heat resistant and scratch resistant seal should I use?
Hi, I wouldn't recommend this decorating method for tiles that get a lot of wear an tear like floor tiles. There are companies that can make proper tiles for you with your own photo prints. Google 'custom printed ceramic photo tiles' good luck!
I am planning to do a back splash for my kitchen using this technique, I am curious if you would change anything different? Especially for above the stove it can get a lot of oil and grime would you use the same sealant?
Hi, Oh thats sounds like a lovely projects. I would use a better sealant then just ModPodge if it's for a backsplash. Several coats of a waterproof clear sealant would do the trick, good luck!
hi, I think it should. I don't know how the glue would adhere to vinyl tiles but recon it should work just fine. Good luck! Let me know how you got on, would love to see the results
you have got me totally mesmerized i found this just when i am planning bathroom renovations my big question is can i use these in my shower ?? if not can you tell what i can do like a stencil or something thanks
Hi Ruth, I would just use these tiles in spaces where they don't get wet all the time. You could try and use the waterproof version of Modge Podge but I haven't tried this so you would have to do a little test run. I do however love using tiles paint and you could use that with a stencil. You can make your own from some acetate paper or Annie Sloan does some lovely patterns. I can see if I can do a tutorial on this if you like?
thanks for answering i make my own stencils so yoi are telling me i could stencil a tile and its waterproof but what paints would i use i am working on a peacock theme thanks
Ruth Kape just use a tiles paint, most brands do them. It's an almost syrupy substance that is a bit trickier to paint with then normal paint but after 24hrs drying completely waterproof. Try on some spare tiles first and see how you get on x
this is excellent :) but i only have one question please, if i use the laminated tile on a mirror for example (as a frame) would it be ok to clean by water ? thanks and greetings from Egypt
Do you know what techniques does Anastasia Ropalo (check her Instagram) uses for decorating tiles by any chance? I have tried to contact her and sign up for her master class, but she never responds. :(
Hi sorry it is difficult to understand, maybe having the captions on might help? This is a rather old video and I promise you my sound quality has gotten a lot better over the years :D
really pretty tiles, really nice idea - not putting a downer on your crafting but doesn't it impinge on copyright to take someones image or part of image to use to create your product?
Hi, glad you like it and regarding the copyright as I'm not selling this product or claim that I made the paper, I simply use it in my make, I think I'm not infringing anything. But please let me know if I'm wrong.
@@handmadehome I'd check the copyright issue out if you can, even though your not selling as a product might be worth making sure re rights - I genuinely think your video is lovely, just thought its worth you checking. I heard from Association of Illustrators recently a story on a copyright issue and it rang a bell when I watched your video - sent with good wishes.
Hm...your link to the Moroccan tiles is broken. Could you list the steps here, please? It's a bit difficult to hear you with the echo in the background in addition to your accent which is beautiful, by the way but it took me a while to figure that "towel" is actually a "tile" :)
Hi, yeah.. this is a very old video, before I started using microphones :D But the link has been changed and description has been added. The video's should all have a subtitles option though just in case the accent gets too bad ;)
This would be a disaster to use as something like a countertop. It is highly unlikely to be waterproof. You are much better off paying for real tile. These techniques would work fine for something decorative that you might hang up on a wall, but decoupage glue is not very durable.
Hi, thanks for your commend. This is indeed a very bad idea for a countertop that is way I tiled a table with it. The decoupage glue is strong enough for gentle wear and tear and always use coasters under cups and hot pans etc.
I often wonder when I watch these video tutorials why you don't show the entire process. I think you should have filmed at least a few minutes of how you adhered the tiles to your countertop. luckily I have watched other shows on Netflix and know that you are supposed to use spacers in between your tile so that your grout ends up being even. But you didn't discuss that
Hi, Thanks for your comment. I don't show the entire process as then it would be a super long video, I try to keep my video's under 6 minutes. regarding the spacers, yes you are right, you can use spacers to make sure the space between each tile is the same but as I only did a few tiles and they are horizontal I just eyeballed it.
@@handmadehome I really appreciate the fact that you do reply back to your TH-cam comments. I am a professional videographer and I do post-production as well. You could have shortened the video where you were drawing the entire bird and then used that extra minute to just show a few of the tiles being glued down to your counter. What they taught us in film school is that you have to have a start a middle and an end to tell each story. What did you use to adhere the tiles to your counter and did you sand off your counter first?
Hi, thanks for your reply. I didn't sand the counter just made sure it was dust free and used a tiles glue&grout two in one product to stick the tiles to the kitchen island top and used the same product to grout the tiles once the glue was dry. Hope this helps. PS. this video is almost 5 years old, my filming and editing has gotten a lot better in my latest video's ( I hope) :D
@@handmadehome Oh I hear you regarding sharpening our skill sets. the majority of people who watch TH-cam tutorials really have no idea how long the preparation takes and the editing and then uploading. Now you have me curious I will have to subscribe to your channel and see recent videos 😁😀😂😎
Those tiles look pretty cool! Thank you for your effort in making this video and inspiring us!
Thank you!!
Wonderful idea for great gifts!
How cute and simple! I can't wait to try this. I just subscribed! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks! Let me know how you get on
So beautiful, I'm about to use this idea for my new backsplash
That sounds lovely!
This is an inspiring video. I think I will do something at this lockdown period. Kudos...!
Thank you! Hope you are keeping safe
you are an amazing artist :)
Thank you!! :)
love your folk artwork animals!
+urthcreature thanks!!
I needed this ,thanks for video
my pleasure!
Hi, I love your video, can you also do this technique using wrapping paper instead of magazine clippings? Thanks
Yes, absolutely. Any kind of paper will work

Hi, i think your tiles are beautiful and I would love to try this myself. just a question, are the tiles you use glazed?
Hi, glad you like them! The tiles I used were indeed glazed. Have fun making the patterned tiles!
its amazing. i will try. one question is their any specific tile we have to buy for this decoupage.
Hi, any tiles you have lying around will be great for this. Or otherwise very plain ones you can find in the DIY shop, no use spending lots of money on fancy ones as you are covering them up :)
Its fab clip

MY SELF MYSELF Lou
Sorry but what is the name of the glue that you put in top of the paper magazine and where can I buy it?
hi, its called Modpoge and you can buy it in craft shops. You have different finishes, matt, satin and even waterproof.
Can you advise any magazines which might have nice patterns like the moroccan ones you use?
Hi, all magazine used were interior magazines I collected over the years :)
I am planning to do a back splash for my kitchen using this technique, I am curious if you would change anything different? Especially for above the stove it can get a lot of oil and grime would you use the same sealant?
Hi, Oh thats sounds like a lovely projects. I would use a better sealant then just ModPodge if it's for a backsplash. Several coats of a waterproof clear sealant would do the trick, good luck!
Lovely video thank you.
For splash back; waterproof sealant - is that from craft shops or DIY?
Thank you
i'm very late but do you think this would work with plain stick on tiles? i'm unable to completely re tile so stick on tiles are my only option ):
hi, I think it should. I don't know how the glue would adhere to vinyl tiles but recon it should work just fine. Good luck! Let me know how you got on, would love to see the results
Hello this is great work. I want to ask if you meant to dry for 15 mins or 50 mins? Sorry I couldn't hear properly
Hi, sorry about that. It is 15 minutes
you have got me totally mesmerized i found this just when i am planning bathroom renovations my big question is can i use these in my shower ?? if not can you tell what i can do like a stencil or something thanks

thanks soooooo nuch
do you think i could use the technique you show here to create a border on the wall of the bathroom not the shower?
this is excellent :) but i only have one question please, if i use the laminated tile on a mirror for example (as a frame) would it be ok to clean by water ? thanks and greetings from Egypt
Hi, I would apply two coat of waterproof varnish on the tiles and you should be fine then. Good luck!
How would I accomplish this with a design I created in photoshop please and thank you
Hi, I would print it on normal printer paper and use that instead of the magazines that I used, good luck!
Depending on how vibrant you want the images I would print them on glossy paper
Super leuk! Ik zou een klein tafeltje willen maken voor in de tuin met mooie tegels, denk je deze tegeltjes het buiten "overleven"?
Hi, ja denk het wel hoor. Wel voor zorgen dat er flink wat lagen waterproof of outdoor top coat op de tegeltjes zit. Succes!!
Hi did u use mod Podge or something . What did u use to make it shine or waterproof
Hi, yes I used Mod Podge, any other varnish glue will work too though
good idea - no kiln involved!
It's super easy :D
Do you know what techniques does Anastasia Ropalo (check her Instagram) uses for decorating tiles by any chance? I have tried to contact her and sign up for her master class, but she never responds. :(
Sorry can't help you there
Is this tiles weatherproof?
Hi, no I don't think you could use these outside unless you use several coats of outdoor varnish.
it would be nice to have written descriptions of the tools as it's quite difficult to translate her accent. just present the tools in type

a lil french accent spotted . have a nice day

Maybe a couple of coats of an epoxy / polyutherane type sealant applied once the glue is dry would work to make the tiles waterproof?

ok, so just glue paper to tiles. Not what I looked for
Sorry, I recon if you want painted tiles there are a lot of tutorials out there.
@@handmadehome I searched for making patterend tiles
@@unglaubiger5645 yes this is what you searched for.
@@nowirehangers2815 and I got a video about gluing paper to tiles, not about making patterned tiles
@@unglaubiger5645 these are tiles, with a pattern.
Maybe adjust your search.
