With the mosaic technique you can create real works of art on different surfaces. This turtle flower pot made of papier-mâché was also decorated with mosaic tiles. Learn how to create the flower pot in this tutorial.

Designing a flower pot with mosaic

First, design the lower part of the turtle with Décopatch paper. To do this, tear the fine paper into small pieces and attach them with patch glue.

When dry, seal the area with patch varnish.

Use a Posca marker to paint on the turtle's eyes.

Now design the mosaic. Choose the colours you want from the mosaic and chop the stones with mosaic tongs if necessary. Important: Wear protective goggles to avoid injuries.

Glue the individual stones onto the turtle's shell with craft glue. After everything has dried, mix the mosaic joint compound with a little water and a few drops of colour concentrate to form a creamy mass. Spread the mass over the mosaic with a brush.

Remove the excess grout with a damp sponge.

After drying, apply the grout finish. This seals the finished mosaic and prevents dust or dirt from contaminating the surface.
