Carol presents several beautiful and inexpensive mosaic projects made with tile. She then assembles broken tile pieces into an attractive mosaic on a wooden tray.
Materials:
hot glue gun with glue assorted pieces of tile wooden tray tile grout paint brush for applying grout clear varnish sealer optional: old towel optional: hammer
Steps: - If the tiles aren't broken small enough, place them under a towel and bring the hammer down gently so the pieces break but are not pulverized.
- Using a hot glue gun, attach the broken tiles to a plain wooden tray with generous amounts of glue.
- Cover the tile with grout, and make sure that an ample amount of grout gets in between the tiles, and also between the tiles and the tray corners and sides.
- Let the grout dry until it is hard to the touch.
- Scrape away excess grout from the tile.
- Let the grout dry completely.
- Seal the grout (not the tile) with a clear varnish.
