Mosaic for Dummies

Turning a crapped-out kiddie table into a fancy side-table.

What you need:
- Table (I used an Ikea "Kritter" children's table from the as-is bargain area)
- Glass tiles or glass strips + glass cutter
- Glue (for glass/wood)
- Grout
- Kitten (not necessary, but entertaining!)

Clean your table properly - scrub off all dust and ickiness, so it will be relatively smooth.

If required, paint any areas that will not be covered by your mosaic, and leave to dry.

Start cutting the glass strips into tiles the size you want to use them for the mosaic.

Decide on a pattern, and start sticking the glass tiles onto the table.

Stick on tiles until the entire area is covered completely.

Let glue dry (check the instructions on the particular glue you are using to be certain).

Prepare the grout - do not make it too runny. Your grout should have the consistency of heavy cream.

Spread the grout evenly so all the cracks between tiles are filled properly.

Leave to dry (about 30 mins), and then wipe off excess grout.

Clean up, add kitten.
