This time I used gold leaf which was a bit of a learning curve but I found you can be surprising slap dash with it. (But you could also use liquid gilding instead of the gold leaf as it is easier but gives a less shiny finish). I got my dad to drag out his tile cutter and we cut the big tile into 10cm squares. You can buy your tiles already in squares if you can find them, but this just seemed easier. If you're really struggling to find marble tiles, you can apply self adhesive marble sheets to any smooth tile instead.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 15.026665687561px;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Josefin Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 15.026665687561px;\"\u003EYOU WILL NEED:\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white; font-family: 'Josefin Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 15.026665687561px;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #e06666;\"\u003ESQUARE MARBLE TILES (I TOOK ONE BIG TILE AND CUT IT INTO SQUARES) - MASKING TAPE - MOD PODGE - GOLD LEAF\/\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B00ELGGTK4?psc=1\u0026amp;redirect=true\u0026amp;ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ELIQUID GILDING\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;- BRUSH\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-IHrDJlhq5i0\/VgAwZkwyOwI\/AAAAAAAACBI\/OCws24S_QZk\/s1600\/diy%2Bgold%2B%2526%2Bmarble%2Btile%2Bcoasters%2Bsteps.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-IHrDJlhq5i0\/VgAwZkwyOwI\/AAAAAAAACBI\/OCws24S_QZk\/s1600\/diy%2Bgold%2B%2526%2Bmarble%2Btile%2Bcoasters%2Bsteps.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 15.026665687561px;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #e06666;\"\u003E1.\u003C\/span\u003E Once you're happy with the size and shape (a hexagon could look really cool if you're a wiz at using your tile cutter) then apply a piece of tape (I used washi tape because it photographs better #priorities - but plain old masking tape will do a fab job) diagonally from corner to corner on your tile.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #e06666;\"\u003E2. \u003C\/span\u003EApply a thin layer of Mod Podge to half of your tile with a foam brush.Make sure that you get all along the tape edge so that you get a clean line.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #e06666;\"\u003E3.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003ECarefully apply your gold leaf.

I used oven bake clay, which I've never used before, but I found it super easy to work with. You can really go mad with these and put your own spin on them because the patterns really are so random - making them really unique creations! These dishes are great for just keeping on your desk or your bedside table and throwing those random little bits and pieces into.
