Handmade mosaic on pots Mosaic looks especially sophisticated when the motifs and colors of the mosaic are similar to the plants in the pot. Mosaic decoration can be playful and luxurious at the same time. Nevertheless, mosaic decoration using tile scraps is not a difficult technique. However, it is necessary to consider well in advance how the final object or ornament will look like. Then, depending on the object to be decorated and the number of fragments, an appropriate backing material should be selected. Ideal materials are those that are adherent:
o wood
o plywood
o ceramic
o sololite
o polystyrene
Introduction
o First clean and degreasethe substrate so that the pieces to be adhered stick well. A very useful and practical method is to draw a pattern on the backing material.
o Once satisfied with the initial pattern, trace and number the pieceson the substrate.
o At the same time, remember to leave a gap of about 3 mmbetween the pieces.
o For larger decorative elements, it is much better to glue the individual pieces and glue them one by one to the substrate.
o Once the glue has dried on the decoration (e.g. flowerpot), mix the grout thickly
o Then, using a sponge , rub the grout into the joints between the glued pieces of the mosaic, smoothing them sufficiently.
o After about 30 minutes,wipe off the excess grouton the mosaic.
Then allow the remaining grout to dry completely.
Since bathrooms are ideal for mosaics, mosaics can also be used in bathrooms . For example, you can decorate with mosaics:
o A flimsy soap dispenser
o A toothbrush cup
o A boring trash can
o Framing a mirror over a sink
