Mosaics done MODERN!

Mosaics are an art form that has lasted the test of time. From ancient Greeks and Romans to the highlights of modern and now digital flair. It will create an instant eye-catching, one-of-a kind, conversation piece for your home or office. This is also an easy DIY project that the whole family can participate in.

Step 1. Pick out an image you would like to create. If you are not very artsy, pick something easy (not too many moving parts) with a simple silhouette. This image can be anything. If it’s for an office, how about a computer icon or if it’s for a kitchen, how about fruit and if it’s for a child’s bedroom, how about a simple heart, baseball and bat or a favorite animal? Your design can be anything. Just let the first project match your level of expertise. Once you get the hang of it, you can pick something more advanced on the next one.

Step 2. For an easy start-up, search the web for a graphic that represents the image you want to use and blow it up to the size you want the actually mosaic to be. Plot the basic picture on pixeled, graph paper the size of the tiles you want to use. Choose your colors and go to the home improvement store to buy your supplies, canvas, tile adhesive and a great glass frame (if you don’t want to grout).

Step 3. Go home and glue, glue, glue. You may want to place the adhesives like a puzzle first, just to make sure it looks the way you like. If you like it- glue baby glue! Let it dry before framing.

Step 4. You’re done! Admire your work. It is one of a kind!
