Have some extra tiles from a project you want to re-purpose?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m sharing how to turn a few ceramic tiles into a stylish planter or pencil holder. What a thoughtful gift idea<\/a> for a teacher to display on their desk or for a friend to jazz up their office space. Of course, you’ll want to make one for yourself, too! 🤗<\/p>\n

Don’t worry – this DIY planter box is simple to make!<\/p>\n

We’re gluing sides of the tile together to form a cube and then gluing a wooden base on the bottom. You can then place a small faux or real potted plant inside, or use it to keep pencils and pens together.<\/p>\n

Where can I find some tiles?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This project works for either 4-inch or 6-inch square tiles. I love this trendy Spanish tile look, so I chose them for my project, but you can use any color or style as long as they’re square.<\/p>\n

While this is the perfect project for using up those leftover tiles, if you’re interested in my 6-inch black and white tiles<\/a>, I found those at Lowe’s. The 4-inch blue and white tiles came from my local tile store. Both types of tile were around $1 each! I’d encourage you to check your local tile store for clearance tiles.<\/p>\n
