Kaleidoscope Pot

This is a very pretty pot hope you like it. IF anyone would like to share with us any of there designs please feel free to post them here on our craft board.
Thanks.



Kaleidoscope Pot

Turn a plain pot into a colorful accent piece using Jennifer's Mosaics Stained Glass Chips.

MATERIALS LIST

Jennifer’s Mosaics Variety Stained Glass Chips, 5 oz. Packages, 2
Clay pot, 6-inch
White Grout
Mosaic Glue
Latex Glove
Latex Black Paint
Mixing Spoon
Paper Towels or soft cloth
Disposable or plastic bowl
Tile Nippers

INSTRUCTIONS

Begin by wiping the clay pot lightly with a soft cloth or paper towel to remove surface dust or dirt.

Randomly nip Jennifer’s Mosaics Stained Glass Chips into assorted sizes and shapes using the photo as a guide.

Lift each glass piece and apply a thin layer of glue to the back.

Allow 1/8-inch between each pieces of glass. Firmly press each glass piece onto the clay pot in a random pattern until the surface of the pot is completely covered.

Allow glue to dry approximately 4 hours.

Using a plastic spoon or craft stick, mix grout according to direction on package mix until it reaches fudge-like consistency. If it is too watery, add additional dry grout in small amounts until the consistency is correct.

To create black grout, add black latex paint to the grout mix until desire color is reached.

Wearing a disposable glove spread the grout into all the nooks and crannies. Wait about 15 minutes for grout to set.

Begin to gently wipe away the excess grout using a paper towel taking care not to pull grout out of tile spaces. It is very important to remove any grout on the tiles surface before grout is completely dry.

Using the soft cloth, buff the glass to a clean shine. Allow 24 hours for the mosaic piece to dry thoroughly.

Tip: Refer to photo to complete project.
