I'm making an outdoor tile bistro table for a school auction.?

ohbrother

My idea is to have the children in the class each decorate a tile and then set those tiles on a metal/iron table. What medium should I have the children use? Does the tile need to be kilned? Can I get away with acrylics and a protective gloss? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am a beginner and craft impaired. Thanks

Answer
What a great idea! If you don't want the expense and are pushed for time I wouldn't use the kiln method. I have an idea -try pre-glazed tiles(Home Depot, Lowes) and use sharpies to color them. They have sets with 25-30 different colors and different size tips that you could probably find at Michael's or an office supply store. Good luck!

Does anyone know were i can get outdoor table and chair covers and a long wire rope to tie them up?

I have a an outdoor patio in an apartment complex and i need to store all the chairs and tables in the winter outside

Answer
Lowes and Home Depot, WalMart and Big Lots all sell covers for assorted outdoor furniture. You can find vinyl covered cable at the home improvement centers. (You will need the vinyl covering so that you don't damage the furniture or the covers).
