Things You'll Need:
- Wire mesh screen
- Mosaic tiles
- Liquid nails caulk
- Thick masking tape
- Fiber glass mesh
- Spatula
-
Step 1
Place your mesh screen over the sketch you drew of your mosaic design. This sketch could be a simple line sketch of a flower or other shape that you want your finished design to look like. By putting a wire screen over it, you will see the mosaic design while you place your tiles.
-
Step 2
Take a tile and put in on the mesh screen. Arrange each tile so that they form the design you sketched. After you add glue, this will be the final tile arrangement, so make sure you like it.
-
Step 3
Tape the tiles down onto the mesh screen. Tear a long strip of masking tape and cover the top of each tile. Overlap the masking tape's edges and press the ends of the masking tape onto the wire mesh.
-
Step 4
Glue the tile pieces down. Flip over the mesh and apply one drop of caulking glue to the back of each tile. Then take a spatula and spread the glue so the entire mosaic tile back is covered with glue.
-
Step 5
Flip your tiles over gently on to the surface you want the tiles to be adhered to and slowly adjust the tiles' position so they are exactly where you want them to go. Then press down gently to create a vacuum between the caulk and the surface. Allow to dry in a safe place where the tiles won't be disturbed.
