Things You'll Need:
- glass vase;
- glass tiles,
- tile nippers;
- hot glue gun;
- white, pre-mixed sanded grout;
- sponge;
- rubbing alcohol
- and cotton balls.
-
Step 1
Begin gluing tiles to outside of container. Make sure tiles are placed 1/8" to 1/16" apart. Cut tiles with the tile nippers to fit together. Fitting tiles together is similar to puzzle-making.
-
Step 2
Use a damp, flat sponge to apply sanded grout to glass. Push the grout between the glass pieces. You will completely cover the design to fill the spaces between the glass tiles. Keep the sponge completely flat and begin wiping the grout off the surface. It will be a process of rinsing the sponge, wringing it out to get as much water as possible out of the sponge, and then wiping the grout some more. Continue doing this until the glass is clean. It is VERY important that you keep the sponge flat so as not to pull the grout from between the spaces.
Allow to dry for 24 hours. -
Step 3
Clean tiles with cotton balls and rubbing alcohol and buff to a shine.
