Customized Tile Photo Frames
Beautiful mosaic tiles are well-suited for uses beyond the kitchen. These photo frames allow you to incorporate the tiles in a stylish way.
Frame Basics. Each “frame” is actually a piece of 1/2”-thick MDF that we used as a backer for the tiles and the photo. Start by cutting the MDF to your desired size, and then spray on a clear coat.
Cut the Tile Sheets
Once the MDF backer has been cut, determine the size and location of the photo (or photos) you plan to use. Then cut out the tiles in the area with a utility knife.
Adhere the Tiles
Apply a small dab of construction adhesive to each tile. Flip the sheet over, and press it firmly onto the MDF backer.
Add the Photo
Place photo-safe tape on the back of your photo. Then adhere it into the opening that you made in the tile sheet.
Hang the Frame
With the photo secure, it’s time to hang your frame. We mounted each of ours to the wall with heavy-duty sawtooth hangers.
