Tip: You can make mosaic pieces by scoring the glass at ½” intervals and then breaking. Use mosaic nippers to create the mosaic pieces from the ½” strips. 

· Step 1: Remove Glass. To keep from breaking the precut pieces of glass, remove them from the package using an X-acto knife. Use our precut glass with you mosaic tiles.

· Step 3: Waterproof the Front of the Wood Base (Mosaic Side). Mix one part Weldbond glue with one part water. Coat the unpainted side of the board with the solution. This will provide a waterproof protective barrier between the board and the mosaic piece. This process prevents the wood base from warping.  

· Step 4: Attach Hanging Hardware
On the painted side of the wood base, measure approximately one inch from the top edge and continue to secure a saw tooth hanger to the wood base.

· Step 5: Glue the Mosaic Pieces
Measure and mark the area with a black marker where you want the mirror to be located.  Glue the precut mosaic flowers randomly on the prepared mosaic surface with Weldbond. Fill in remaining areas with the white back ground glass. 

· Step 6: Cut and Glue Mirror

Cut your mirror to the desired size. Cover the mirror with contact paper to protect it. Using the Weldbond mosaic glue, spread a generous amount on the back of the mirror and set in place. Press lightly on the mirror to secure in place. Be sure to keep the project laying flat while the mirror is drying. 

With the mosaic design and mirror in place allow the project to dry flat for 24 hours. 

· Step 7: Grouting  Place the project on newspaper. Mix grout according to manufacture’s instructions. The grout should be the consistency of a thick milk shake. Spread the grout with your gloved hand and press grout into all crevices. Work the outer edges easily to form a rounded grout edge. Wait 10 minutes to allow the grout to set up.

· Step 8: Cleanup Carefully start wiping the grout with a lightly dampened sponge being careful not to pull grout out of the crevices. Rinse sponge frequently. Remember it is import the sponge be as dry as possible. After the excess grout has been removed allow the grout to dry for another 45 minutes. Using a soft cloth and 0000 steel wool, buff the glass and grout and use a razor blade to remove spots of dried glass.
