Pique Assiette Mosaic Tile
You’re just gluing stuff to other stuff. Besides, it can be a really cheap hobby … or not. Depends on how obsessed you become.
To get started, find a space to call your own and stock it with the right tile tools, materials and adhesives.
Start small and you’ll grow from there … believe me.
Best mosaic tile tools …
#1 Wheeled Glass Nippers have a set of disc shaped wheels on spring-loaded handles. They should be used to cut glass, mirror, glass tiles, and the like in a manner similar to tile nippers. Replacement wheels are sold separately.
#2 Mosaic Tile Cutter are designed for cutting ceramic tiles, crockery and china. Better tile nippers have tungsten-carbide cutting edges and spring-loaded handles.
#3 Weldbond Adhesive, e6000 Adhesive, Mastic and Grout
Always good to have nearby:
- Small Penny Hammer
- Wire Cutter
- Needle Nose Pliers
- Self-closing tweezers (a little more expensive than regular tweezers but well worth the investment.) Make sure to keep them glue free!
- Toothpicks or wooden skewers
- Popsicle sticks
- Paper Towel
- SAFETY GLASSES
- Base, tile and some found objects. Ta da.
