I’ve been curious about making my own mosaics for a long time now. I’ve even been collecting broken china, seashells and sea glass for possible projects. Here are some of the most helpful instructions and tutorials I’ve found for making mosaics. I hope you find them inspiring!

This tutorial for making your own mosaic is a great place to begin your research and preparation.

Mosaic mirrors are my favorite. I’ve spent hours searching Etsy and craft fairs for the perfect mosaic mirror but I haven’t settled on one yet, mostly because I know I’d prefer to make my own with found objects like broken  china and seashells in colors I have chosen to match the colors in my home. This tutorial will help bring you closer to designing and creating your own mosaic mirror.
