Start spreading on the grout! This part is messy and will look ugly. Peanut butter or frosting-like usually works pretty well. Get it to a good consistency…you want it to be thick enough not to run down your vase, but not too thick or dry to work with. I like to stir mine with old paint stir sticks. Start with a very small amount, because it will go farther than you think! Pour a little into an old food container and then start adding water in small amounts. Next it’s time to fill in the gaps and cover the sharp edges with grout! Pick up some grout at your local home improvement store if you don’t have any already lying around from a previous tiling project. Look for patterns & colors you like…textured decorations and gold edges make nice details.įrom Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States When choosing plates, find ones that are as flat as possible. TIP: When choosing a vase, choosing square instead of round makes it easier and faster for the mosaic tiles to lie flat while drying on each side. Tell the checkout clerk that he/she need not waste paper to wrap them up you are going to break them anyway! I also bought an extra white plate just in case I didn’t have enough pieces with my plate, to use as filler.
For this project I am using an old plate that I already had with a vase I bought at a thrift store. If you don’t have old vases or plates lying around your house, take a trip to any thrift store, where you will most likely find at entire aisles dedicated to plates and vases. Roll up your sleeves and put on your safety glasses because we are going to bust up some old plates and, using Eco Glue and some grout, create a beautiful mosaic flower vase. This is a great way to use EcoGlue to turn something old into something new and one-of-a-kind.
