Step 1
Of course, planning your decoupage mosaic picture is the first step. You can make any type of picture you would like. It should, however, have definite blocks of color and not contain a lot of detail or shading. We will use the example of a white daisy with a yellow center on green grass with a blue sky background.

Step 2
The first step in preparing your mosaic picture is drawing or printing out the image. The second step is to cut out squares of your decoupage picture. These should be very small and can include different shapes if you desire. The colors of paper should correspond to the colors in the picture. For our project, you will want white, yellow, blue, and green squares of paper.

Step 3
The final step in creating a decoupage mosaic picture is gluing the whole thing together. On your prepared wood or cardboard, you should use a pencil to make faint outlines of the shapes needed for your picture. Then, arrange the squares of color on the backdrop. The squares should be evenly placed.

Step 4
The last thing you should do is use the decoupage medium or white craft glue to attach each square to the background. Apply a thin layer of the glue to each square and stick it in place. After all paper mosaic pieces are in place, brush another layer or two of the decoupage medium over the whole thing.
