Tile Spacer?

[theno1mimi]

Hi. Has anyone got any ideas about what to use for tile spacers?

I am putting floor tiles down but not sure what to use as spacers between the tiles.

Thanks

Ive used an old debit/credit/type card...or a ruler... Someone once recommended a cocktail stick to me but I thought that was abit big myself.....

Good idea Kath, since I stopped working I dont use my credit card, now I have a use for it again.

What a bout using a sewing needle or something like that. A tile spacer is 2mm so my tile fixer hubby says lol.

Hi Think I would have enough trouble laying the mini tiles even on card without the thought of a spacer

You can get 1mm spacers from Screwfix, I cut mine down slightly, depends on the size of your tiles.

I used a scrap piece of 1mm acetate as a guide (along with drawn on lines of course)

Thanx guys.

I thought about cocktail sticks but thought the same in that they may be too thick.

I like the idea of using the credit card. Keep spending on it for my Dolls House and need to curb the spending!

Might try the spacers for screwfix. Thanks for the ideas. Got me thinking now.
