So you’ve painted, sprayed both UV Protection and varnish on to a 6″ x 6″ ceramic tile.  Now what are you options for hanging the tile?

I can suggest the following four ways:

Glue to IKEA Mirror Tile

• Ensure the hanging hole on the reverse is at the top and turn the Mirror Tile topside up.
• Apply a thick line of E6000 adhesive around the outside of the mirror.
• Center your sealed and varnished tile painting on the Ikea Mirror Tile. Check the alignment with a ruler.  Tile should be 2” in from each edge of the Mirror Tile. (At this stage you can easily re-position the tile.)
• The glue takes quite awhile to dry so lay flat as it can easily slide off center.
• Allow to dry for at least 5 days before picking up or hanging.
  

  An ideal inexpensive choice.

Aftosa Wood Tile Frames

Aftosa has a number of products including frames, boxes with lids that hold a tile, holders to stand your tile, etc.

Framing under Glass

A square Shadow-box frame is ideal but the backing must be stiff and able to hold the glued tile.

Hanging an Unframed Tile

Artist Gwen Ridley (https://www.facebook.com/GrArtCraftsDesign) glues a matboard to the reverse of the tile.  She first cuts out a small rectangle at the top where she glues a D-ring using Evo-Stik adhesive.  The ring drops out of sight should you wish to place the tile in a holder.
