I did more of this tile. I love the 6 x 6, but it was a pain to weed!!! I posted these because I wanted to show how I finished them. I cut thin strips of vinyl to wrap the edges, applied adhesive cork to the backs, and used shank buttons to string the ribbon.

ReplyDeletegreat job! :)
Denise, Those are beautiful! I like the little one. It would look great on an easel.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog today and I am really admiring the things you have done! Can you tell me more about how you "hang" the tiles? Are the buttons in the front attached to the ribbon in the back? How did you drill the holes? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy husband drilled hoes in the front of the tile with a "tile bit" avaiable at Home Depot. He lays the tile on an old towel to cushion it, puts tape over the spot he is going to drill, and goes slow and steady. If you push too hard the tile will break! Then I thread ribbon from back to front, slip on a shank button, and thread the ribbon back through the hole.
