How to Create a Tile Mosaic?
Perhaps you are looking for a fun art project to undertake in your spare time. You also may have wanted to do something to spruce up the design of your home. One idea you should certainly consider is creating a tile mosaic. The first step to creating a tile mosaic is creating a design. This can be a simple, random mosaic or one that is more intricate, creating recognizable shapes or patterns. Whatever the case, it’s left up to you. Secondly, you need to go buy your tile. Go to your local hardware store and choose tiles of the specific colors and textures you want to use in your mosaic. You should probably use ceramic tile. If the mosaic will be subjected to freezing temperatures outdoors, choose porcelain instead. For the third step, you have two choices. If you are choosing to do a much more intricate mosaic with a uniform design, you should probably use a tile cutter to cut the tile into squares so you can more easily arrange the pieces together to create the shapes you want. If you’re going for a more random design shape wise, just simply throw the tile down on a hard surface to shatter the tile into random sized pieces. Make sure to wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from flying pieces. Next, gather up all the pieces and group them by color. Now go to the surface you wish to add the mosaic to. Glue each piece onto the surface with tile adhesive, recreating your design. Once you have set each piece of tile and the glue has dried, it’s time to add cement. Follow the instructions for mixing the cement with water. Now pour the wet cement onto the tiles and the surface you glued them on. The last step is to take something soft, perhaps a piece of cloth, and rub the cement off of the top of the tile pieces so your mosaic will be visible once the cement dries. You are now done. With this very simple exercise, you can see that decorating your home with tile mosaics can be a very creative and rewarding experience.
