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!

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).

How to make beer pong table.?

I know that you need folding table legs and a piece of wood lol but i was wondering if anybody knew pretty close prices to all the materials. also how much the water sealent paint is.

Answer
me and my friends did that a few months ago in the summer. its expensive, i would just buy one but if you still want to make it, itll cost like 100 bucks with paint and all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKRZI_Qp83Y. thats how you make it. we got the wood and paint from home depot and we had the wood cut in half to make the table fold. dont use latex paint. those are the basics. if your making a folding table then get latch locks so the table wont collapse and make sure the hinges go on the bottom cause the table wont close if they are on top. that website is all you need basically. youll want a nice polyurathane but you dont need it. make sure you know which type to get cause some of it will change the color of your table. make sure you get outdoor paint also cause these things take a beating. my table was 8 ft and came in handy.

Outdoor seating ideas for coffee house?

Jon W

People keep stealing our furniture outside. What is the best way of making something that people can't steal? We don't have a lot of money.

I was thinking of making a cement table. Bags of cement are like $7. Make staked frames out of wood and perhaps chain the chairs down. Will this work? Any better ideas? Where's some nice looking moderately priced outdoor furniture? I looked at Targets stuff and it's total CRAP plastic junk for like HUNDREDS of dollars!

Thanks for the help.

Answer
You can buy concrete round tables and benches. I see them at outdoor places all the time. Find a local concrete dealer who makes those and birdbaths, etc. They may be available at Home Depot, etc. Or look in the yellow pages.

What retail stores would you recommend for buying a Nativity set?

2007_Shelb

My wife and I would like to buy a small, table top Nativity set. We've looked at some online, but would really prefer to see some up close in a retail setting. Any suggestions?

Were are in the NY metro area.

Thanks!

Answer
If you ever visit Germany or Italy, you can buy nice handmade ones. WalMart or Target might have some. You might consider getting an outdoor lighted kind (home depot?Lowes? Walmart?). So many ppl forget about Christ during Christmas.
