Items you will need:
- 2 pieces of 600×600 natural terrazzo tile
- T-Rex glue (or other super strong glue suitable for stone)
- 4 x besser blocks (or other sturdy object to help with drying)
- Pencil
- Ruler
Steps:
1. Have the terrazzo tiles cut into 3 pieces. You’ll want 2 rectangular pieces that are 254mm wide x 450mm high. These will form the base. And a larger top piece of terrazzo that is 254mm x 600mm. For interest, I had one side of the rectangular top piece cut into a curve.
Natural terrazzo needs to be cut with a wet saw or angle grinder and wet sponge. I had a tiler friend cut the stone for me. However, if you don’t have one of those, you could take the tiles to a stone mason and pay a cutting fee. Or for the most precise results, you could use a water jet cutting marble and stone service.
2. Start by gluing the 2 smaller pieces of stone together in a T shape. Use a ruler to find the centre point of one piece of terrazzo and glue the spine of the other tile at this point. See the image below for how I used besser blocks to hold the stone in place.

3. Then glue along the top line of the T base and place your larger (curved) piece of terrazzo on top.
