Tiled table protector

1 Arrange ceramic tiles to cover a square of cork board (leaving a narrow border around the edge) until you’re happy with the design.

2 One at a time, spread tile adhesive onto the back of each tile and stick on to the cork, a few mm apart. Leave to dry.

3 Use a pre-mixed grout to finish the tiles, pressing into all the gaps and around the edges. Wipe off the excess with a damp cloth and leave to dry. Use a waterproof grout sealer if desired.
