How Do You Create A Glass Mosaic Vase?
• 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. • 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. Clean tiles with cotton balls and rubbing alcohol and buff to a shine.
