2. Determine The Centre Of The Stone

Each Round Mosaic Stone has a tiny dot at its centre.

2. Adhere The Tiles

Before you begin, it's helpful to have a concept in mind for your design. Start by placing a the tiles in the following order, radiating out from the centre of the design:

Adhere the Patterned Glass Cabochon at the centre of the stone. Cover the back of the cabochon with white adhesive and then place it onto the stone.
Orange Pointed Glass Petals
Blue Peacock Eye Glass Tiles
Red Peacock Eye Glass Tiles
Cobalt Blue Pointed Drops
Green Pointed Petals
Orange Glass Dots

The easiest way to adhere the tiles is to spread a bed of adhesive onto the mandala and position the tiles in the adhesive.

3. Grouting

When it's time to grout, remember to wear gloves to protect your hands, as the grout can dry them out. Mix a small amount of powdered grout with water until it reaches a porridge-like consistency. Apply a small amount of grout onto the tiles and work it into the gaps between them. Once you've covered the entire mosaic, remove the excess grout and let it dry.

4. Buff Clean

After the grout has started to dry and become dull, use a sponge to carefully remove the excess grout. Allow it to dry for 24 hours, and then give it a final buff-up to eliminate any remaining excess grout.

5. Adding Tile Detail

Adhere the centre dot and small petals to the top of the tiles once your grout has dried and you've buffed the grout off. Apply a small amount of clear drying adhesive to the back of the tiles and carefully place them so the adhesive doesn't come out of the sides. Clear silicone adhesive is great for this.

By following these steps, you'll finish your mosaic stone project and admire the amazing outcome of your creative work!
