How To Make Bookends From Ceramic Tile

Step 4 Cover Bookends With Material Of Choice

I made a template out of yellow paper I had on hand. I wanted to cover them with decorative paper(s) so made the template. That way I could cut as many pieces of paper as needed to make several bookends if desired. I would include a pdf of this pattern, but undoubtedly your tiles are different sizes than mine.  And, a template is not necessary. Just lay out paper and measure and cut to cover areas of the tiles. See pictures and image notes.

so for one bookend,  you have four on the bottom, and four for the side is that right?

If 3 inch tiles are used, it's best to use 4 on each "leg" of the bookend, I believe. The one I made with the 4 inch tile only needed 2 on each leg. Thanks for your question. Cman
