Marvellous Mosaics


You will need:

  • Contact Paper
  • Coloured Squares
  • Twine
  • Scissors
  • Paper
  • Pencil

To make:

Step 1: Sketch the outline of the shape you want your mosaic to be on a piece of paper. Cut two piece of contact paper big enough to fit your design.

Step 2: Peel the backing off one piece of contact paper and place your design underneath. Fix your paper mosaic tiles onto the sticky surface within your design. These can be randomly placed or in a pattern.

Step 3: Once the paper mosaic tiles are all in place peel the backing off the second piece of contact paper and place it over the design to fix all of the mosaic tiles into place.

Step 4: Finally, cut out the final shape of your suncatcher mosaic, whatever it may be. See a helper to punch a hole at the top of your shape, thread a piece of twine and tie at the top.
