# How to Make a Round Tile Top Table
Instead of purchasing a new table, give your tired, old table a makeover with tile. It's easy to install, as long as the table is flat and and in good condition. Tile can also add considerable weight, so it is best that the table is sturdy. The process will take a few days to complete, but the end result will be a beautiful, waterproof and classic.

Lightly sand the round table top with fine-grit sandpaper, until the finish is no longer glossy. Clean away the dust with a vacuum cleaner and a damp cloth.

Arrange the tiles until you find a layout you like. Keep the spacing consistent by placing spacers between the tiles. Cut the tiles along the edge to size, with a tile saw. Mark a starting point for the tile with a pencil. Remove the tiles from the table.

Spread tile adhesive with a notched trowel. Press the tiles into the adhesive, and place spacers between the tiles. Allow the adhesive to dry overnight.
