This modern and Contemporary Glass Tile Coffee Table is perfect for furnishing your home. You can make it for your own home over the weekend. Working with Contemporary Glass tiles can sound a little intimidating, but you will be pleasantly surprised how easy it really is!

To make this mosaic Contemporary Glass Tile Coffee Table you will need to spread it out over a couple days, so working over the weekend will probably work best. While you won't be working on the craft project all day long, you do need to allow for time for materials to dry.

Be sure to buy your glass table top first and built your Contemporary Glass tile coffee table to fit it. This will save you a lot of time and money!

To Make a Contemporary Glass Tile Coffee Table You Will Need:

4 sheets of plywood or MDF cut to the same size

8 L brackets

Grout

Tile Adhesive

Contemporary Glass tiles (you choose the colors)

Primer

Paint

Paint brushes

The first step is to measure your piece of glass table top. Everyone will have a different size, so I can only give you tips on how to know how large to make your Contemporary Glass Tile Coffee Table.

Make it slightly smaller than the glass table top. Now, measure how wide the table top is. If you have a circle table top, then mark out a square on it with painter's tape. Measure this to get the dimensions for your tile table base.

Have your 4 pieces of MDF cut to size. A good height for a coffee table is 2.5 feet tall. You can make the square to fit your table top.

Now, the first step is to primer the front and back of your sheet of MDF or plywood. Let this dry, and then paint on a coat of paint in any color you wish.

The front of the Contemporary Glass Tile Coffee Table will be covered in tile, but the back (or inside) will be visible. You will want to paint this side of each piece.

If you want you can also use your Contemporary Glass tile inside of the coffee table as well though!

Now, lay all four pieces out on a flat work surface on their back.
