Don't want to make it--buy it. I now have some of my crafts on Etsy! That's right, I am selling some of my crafts online. My friend and I have been so busy making crafts that it is now taking over our homes. In order to continue funding out crafting habits we decided to sell some of our stuff online. I hope you enjoy.

Mosaic What? Mosaic a Stool- additional photos
Mosaic What? Mosaic a Stool
Materials Needed:
Stool or table
Paint {optional}
Tiles
Grout
Hammer {or something to smash hard to smash the tiles with}
Super Glue
Step 1:
Paint the stool or table. We painted our stool white but feel free to paint your work of art a different color.
Step 2:
Draw a pattern or picture to mosaic. You can freehand this design or print an image off the internet and trace it.
Step 3:
Smash the tiles to little pieces!! I actually had a good time doing this. We used a hammer and put the tiles in a plastic bag so we didn't make a mess.
Step 4:
Start super gluing the bits of tile to the stool
Step 5:
Let the glue dry overnight or according to the directions.
Step 6:
Mix grout according to the directions
Step 7:
Use hands or mixing knife to spread the grout in the cracks
Step 8:
Scrape the extra grout off the top of the tiles and let grout dry.
Step 9:
Get a damp rag and wipe the tiles clean
Note: This project doesn't have to be expensive. What we spent: Stool 1.00, Grout 8.00, tiles-free. The other materials used we already had.
