From Start to Finish

Here's a little pictorial of an Easter Egg Mosaic

After I sealed my form, I drew my design

All the materials I'll be using...I may be missing a brush to apply the glue to the tiles. 

And yes! My goggles.

 After the mosaics have been glued. Looks pretty already!

Ready for grouting! I have my gloves

  It's been grouted. Now I wait to wipe the excess grout.

 The final product!

Painting Porcelain Tiles

This is a great way to recycle broken dishes. Just paint them and turn them into works of art. 
I use this method to make filler mosaic tiles for my projects. In other words no specific design.

The paint is permanent and food and dishwasher safe. -Always follow manufacturer's directions-

Tools and Materials

Assortment of Porcelain pieces

Porcelain paints and markers

Soft Bristle Brushes

One thing to consider is the color shade of the pieces. 

Darker shades of porcelain may have a different result.

Here are some different shapes, sizes, and colors.

After one coat of paint

Note: Allow 24 hours between coats of paint.

 After adding details and some 'bling'.
-Wait another 24 hours before baking-

Bake in a 300ºF (150ºC) oven for 35 minutes.

Now you have a unique tile for your mosaic project.
