Mosaic Switchplates Finished

Guess what I finally got to… yup, my mosiac switchplates!

This one is from that mirror that I broke…


and this one is done out of buttons from my stash…


Aren't they cute! It really is a fun and easy project. If your interested this is a shot of the glue and grout that I used…


I'm sure there are many more options out there but this is what I used this time, got it from Jo Ann's and it worked great. There are easy to follow directions on the back too.

Here's a shot of my switchplates after I glued them. You can see the glue in some spots and that is OK because it dries clear and plus it get covered up with grout.

I was excited about the beach glass one I have here but the pieces didn't end up sticking, either I didn't use enough glue or they weren't flat enough on the side I glued. Bummer. I really like the other two though!


Let me know if you try this. I'd love to see what you come up with!

Yey! I Broke A Mirror

Seven years bad luck? Not in my book!

Can you believe that when I opened my luggage from my trip that this broken mirror brought a smile to my face? Well, it did!


That's because it means I can make another one of my mosaic switchplates.


I made this one years back for my first apartment in college. It's traveled with me ever since and I still love it today. I 'plan' to work on my new one over the weekend - if I do and if your interested I can try to get a tutorial together for you too!
