School Auction Blog

Everything about school auctions

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

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!
