Tiles!

A long time ago I was given some really pretty mosaic tiles, but I never came up with a good use for them... until now.




This is for my hair straightener to sit on, cos I'm so paranoid that one day I'll leave it on and it will melt my bench and start a fire and burn down my house... I figure a layer of tile in between heat and potentially flammable materials will slow it down a bit! Plus, its just a bit of pretty.

I bought the board from Spotlight for about $3, tile adhesive and black grout from Bunnnings for about $20 and have plenty left over for use on the rest of the tiles, so not a bad afternoon in all.
