How to make mosaic art

Transform ordinary items around your home and garden with mosaic tiles - by Siobhan Rogers

Mosaic art has been around almost forever, starting way back in the 3rd millennium BC – if you're a history buff, check out the wiki page.

Mosaics usually involve creating an image or piece of art using small pieces of glass, tile or stone. It can be just a lovely naïve pattern in gorgeous colours or an intricate piece. The options are endless, and anything can be covered in mesmerising patterns.

Check out these wonderful projects and let your imagination go wild.

Mosaics make wonderful wall panels. Look at this fantastic panel using old china to create a great a wall of jugs.

Creating landscape art scenes don’t always need to be complicated. Look at this lovely bare branch with pink blossoms and an amazing blue sky!

Or add some colour throughout - note the pretty details in leaves and flowering undergrowth.

Perhaps work to a theme and keep colours in the same tones as other elements in your home's exterior finishes.

Wishing to extend the holiday vibe at home? Bring the beach colour palette to your entrance! Be sure to use non-slip or textured tiles on stairs.

Have fun with your design - anything is possible!

Start small by practicing your technique on pots and planters.
