You simply pick a pattern, lay out your stone or glass tiles and add the grout between the tiles. Mosaics have been around since ancient times and are still popular today. You can add color and drama to your home or garden when you utilize the wondrous versatility of this art form.
To begin your mosaic tile project, you will need a few supplies, such as grout, adhesive, tiles, a sponge, a pencil or chalk, eye protection, brown paper, a squeegee and tile nippers. There are a number of choices when it comes to tiles for a mosaic design, such as glass, stone, marble etc.
Always wear heavy gloves and safety glasses when breaking tiles or using nippers to cut out shapes. It is so easy for shards of glass tiles to fly up and cause serious eye injuries. Keep your work area neat and tidy by discarding any fragments of tile or glass.
A good way to prevent a dangerous mess is to put each mosaic tile in a clear plastic bag before cutting, nipping or breaking. This keeps the shards and dust contained inside the bag.
