Video Transcript

"Today I'll show you how to make this beautiful mosaic hand mirror. These are the materials we'll be using to make our mosaic hand mirror. You'll need an assortment of crockery that you can break, either you can find this in second hand stores or just collect your own broken dishes as they break. We'll need a construction adhesive or a good, strong tile adhesive. We want to use something a little bit stronger with this project, because it tends to be handled a little bit more. You'll need a base piece of wood, either plywood, or this is MDF board that can be cut with a jigsaw, and it should be about a quarter inch thick. You'll need some sand paper, we have some eighty grit sand paper to really get the rough edges off and then a finishing grit of one hundred and eighty for finishing. You'll need some tile nippers, for shaping the pieces of tile and of course, some safety glasses to protect your eyes while you're doing the cutting of the crockery. You'll need some grout, and we have some paint to paint the back of the project and some, or some tint for tinting the grout, you can also use an acrylic paint to tint the grout if you want the back of the project to match the grout. You'll need a paint brush, you'll need a mixture of white glue and water to prep our baseboard. It's going to be one part craft glue, to four parts water. You'll need a small heart cookie cutter for the heart mirror in the front and you'll need a bit of mirror that fits the cookie cutter shape and I believe that's all, let's get started."
