This is a great beginner project! There’s no wrong way to make this mosaic heart. We love how it uses all different tiles and baubles. For our mosaic garden heart, we picked out leftover tiles from other mosaic projects. We used metallic mini tiles, pieces of broken china, and small and large round tiles. Then we added in flea market jewels like a broken rhinestone earring, some flower pendants, and even shank buttons. • Want to get some flea market or thrift store china to use as tiles? Here's a video we made showing how to break china into tiles for mosaic: • • Mosaics 101: How To Break China for M... • The rest of this mosaic project is almost as fun and easy and as gathering the jewels, gems, and tiles. You just “frost” a wooden craft heart with 100% white silicone. We spray painted our wooden heart first to prime it. That should help it weather the outdoors too. • Once we frosted the heart with the silicone we arranged our tiles and things. We think it helps to start with your best gems first so they are placed all over the project. Next add your largest tiles. Medium sized goes next then finally fill in the small spaces with your smallest tiles. We added pearls and beads too for the littlest spaces. Be sure to press each item into the silicone. It will act as both the adhesive and the grout for your mosaic. • Let the mosaic heart cure/dry over night. We used the silicone to adhere a hanger to the back. Depending on the thickness of your wooden heart you can either screw in a hanger or glue one on. The project isn't very heavy so you will probably only need a light duty hanger. • Here Are The Tools And Materials Needed To Make Mosaic Garden Heart • Materials • Wooden heart, about 7-8” • White primer spray paint • Hanger • Large, Medium and Small Round Tiles • Metallic Mini Tiles • Broken China Pieces • Broken Earrings • Flower Pendants • Pearls • Beads • 100% White Silicone • Putty knife • Steps • 1.
