Step 1: Place Center Tiles
For this project you'll need 29 4"x4" ceramic tiles: 10 black, 7 white and 12 gray. To make the plaid pattern look authentic, we painted white hatch lines on each gray tile using a toothpick and white acrylic paint. Once you've gathered all your materials, start the pattern by placing a single white tile diagonally in the center of your table, then surround it on four sides with gray tile.

Continue the pattern down the length of your table, until you have 3 diamond shapes connected end to end. Fill in the empty spaces between the diamonds with the remaining white tiles.
