  • nice... krafty kiddos has a 1.5 minute video that shows you to actually crush your own pieces for a mosaic and make them into a vase - pretty cool. mosaics turn something ugly into something beautiful... easier to do than you'd think!

  • @1jameyharris I have used window screen with Titebond waterproof carpenters glue to make border designs for my tile floor. Turned out great and the floor has been in service for about 5 years with zero problems. The pieces were about 1/2 " up to about 3" square and about 36" long. Just put wax paper underneath and peel off when done. If the glue is use sparingly, it can take gentle handling in about 30 minutes. Don't coat the whole bottom of the tesserae. One good "drop" is enough.

  • wire mesh? like window screen?

  • Great tip! I am just wondering, do you embed the whole thing, including the wire mesh into your picture?

  • @gfsugar2plus lmao to funny, and the response seals the ignorance in the 'cock' teehee. Good grief the Doors sang it best with people are strange!

  • I adore mosaics too! Thank you for sharing and teaching!!
