Great one to one or group activity that covers several sessions. Is messy but reveals a beautiful product the participants are proud of and love!
Materials: Wooden picture frames (or some other flat surface decorative piece)
Mosaic tiles
Tile adhesive
Grout
Spacers (Optional)
Grout applicator
Grout sealer
Damp towel
Directions: Lay surface flat and wipe excess dust or dirt. Arrange tiles in a desirable pattern, making sure there is 1-2 mm of space on all sides of tiles. Glue on tiles. Allow to dry over night and make sure each tile is secure. Mix grout (follow pkg directions) and apply with grout applicator making sure all the spaces are filled in. As it begins to set, wipe surface with damp towel to reveal surface of tiles. May need to let dry for a while before wiping. Make sure edges are covered with grout and smooth. After the grout has set for some time (one to two weeks) apply grout sealer.
