The art of mosaic goes all the way back to the roman bathhouses. Back then the mosaics were made of pottery and stone pieces. Today, you have lots of different materials at your disposal. If you are not going for a "traditional" look you don't need to use traditional materials.

Take a look at the many things you can glue down to create your own version of a mosaic or muti-dimensional collage!

Look at my reflection!
Perfect as a centerpiece, use them like tiles, use them in a collage, or break them into lots of little pieces (and if by chance you run into a streak of bad luck that you think is connected to breaking the mirror don't blame us!)

plastic

These are bits of plastic that has been broken to look like tile. A great thing to use with kids since there are no sharp pieces. They can be used just like tiles-- arrange them, glue them, grout them. They are transluscent so make sure you use a glue that will dry clear.

Bags of Beach Glass
Marineoceanpremium
From left to right you have marine, ocean and then premium.
These beach glass pieces tend to be fairly flat, and quite frosty. It
  • Marine mix-dark blue, green and clear
  • Ocean tones-two shades of blue and clear
  • Primary- a range of colors including opaque white and a whole lot of colors
  • Let me tell you the reasons we think beach glass is great.

  • Since the pieces are irregularly shaped it is kind of like putting a puzzle together to get the right look
  • Because they are not flat like tiles, they provide a nice texture to your project without any extra work on your behalf.
  • There is a lot of immediate gratification since there is no cutting involved-- just pick your pieces and glue. No need to grout if you don't want to. Great for projects with kids or adults.
  • 12 oz net ($4.09) or 4.5 lb ($23.99)

    Glass blobs and shapes!


    Life is all about different shapes, sizes, textures, and feels. So why limit your mosaic projects to just tiles? In fact, I prefer to call this craft multimedia collage!

    Let me present you with all kinds of things that you can glue down. You can also embed these in soap, use them in a shadow box, put them on your table...... All of these are glass.

    glass shapes

    These are great when used as an focal point in a project, or all by themselves. The stars and moons are about 1" in diameter, about 1/2" tall. They come in either crystal clear or transparent royal blue. The ice cubes come in just clear and are squares that are about 3/4" in all dimensions. Great for putting over an image which would be magnified. Sold individually, $1.50 each

    starPre-Cut Designs

    These designs are cut out of the same glass as the stained glass chips. They can be used as the center piece for a stepping stone or any mosaic project. Each image is composed of a number of pieces so that you could grout in between. For example the butterfly is made up of 11 pieces. Originally we envisioned these as being the perfect way to get younger children involved in mosaics because you get a great design without having to do a bunch of cutting. But after seeing the product, we realized that the designs are sophisticated to be used by adults as well. These are a wonderful starting point that you can design around.
