Read through all the instructions first before starting this craft.
Step 1
plan out your design straight onto the template using a pencil
Step 2
Stick tiles down using your glue in your desired pattern, cut your tiles using a glass tile cutter. Leave the glue to dry for a t least 4 hours.
Step 3
Add water to your grout powder in small amounts at a time. Your grout needs to be the consistancy of a loose paste, not runny or not stiff.
Step 4
Apply the ready mixed grout liberaly all over and making sure you cover every corner BUT
be careful as to not go onto the unmosaic'd wooden template.
Let to set for roughly 10min.
Tip If your in a hurry as i am MOST ALWAYS get your blow dryer out and make it help you save atleast HALF the drying time. its noisy but you'll be smiling in just minutes!
Step 5
wipe away all excess grout using a damp cloth or sponge. I prefer a cloth because
the sponge sometimes gets left behind and does not look nice.
Keep soaking the cloth so that it is clean, and wipe
away more of the excess grout.
NOTE We are not scrubbing it clean, we are just gently wiping the excess grout away
Leave to dry again for a couple hours preferably over night.
Step 6
clean up the open exposed wood by sanding it with a fine piece of sand paper. Just making sure it is nice and smooth.
Step 7
Paint a white base onto the template using PVA paint.
Allow to dry
Paint with your desired colour.
Allow to dry
Step 8
Stick down your nuggets with PVA glue.
