Ceramic tile is easy to set into the top of a table for a one-of-a-kind look.

DIY Decorating and Design host Nancy Golden gives simple instructions for covering a table top with ceramic tile. - If the table doesn't have a rim on it, make one from trim molding: miter the corners and attach the molding to the edge of the table to give the tile something to butt up against. Paint or stain the table as desired.
- Dry-fit the tile on the table to determine the best arrangement.
- Using a toothed trowel, spread mastic on the table, working both horizontally and vertically and getting the mastic into the corners.
- Set the tiles into the mastic, spacing them 1/8" apart (if you use tiles that are mounted on netting, the netting will space them for you. Let dry for 24 hours.
- Use a grout float to spread grout all over the tile, making sure to work it well into the spaces between tiles.
- While the grout is still damp, clean it off the tiles with a damp sponge. Let dry.
