Make unique miniature mosaics with wood shapes and glass chips.
Steps
- Step 1Choose your favorite wood shape and stained glass chips (each mosaic will use approximately 6-8 chips). Cut glass chips into smaller, desired shapes with the Wheeled Glass Nippers. Arrange glass to fit on the wood shape.
- Step 2Glue each piece of glass securely to the wood shape with Aleene's "Tacky" Glue. Allow glue to dry thoroughly before grouting.
- Step 3Apply white or black grout to finish the mosaic. (A 2 lb. tub of grout will be enough for an average-sized class.) Clean mosaic (before grout is completely dry) with a damp sponge.
