Mosaic Tiles Messenger Bag

by Kristen Leave a Comment

What I love about mosaic arts and crafts is that they allow you to mix colors, textures and patterns.  And when you use mosaic tiles when you sew, it opens up the possibilities for showing-off your favorite colors.  It’s also a great way to re-use fabric from one of your favorite outfits, or from a sentimental piece of clothing.  Incorporate it into a design for a modern messenger bag and you’ll carry those fond memories with you wherever you go.

DIY Gift Idea for Making a Mosaic Monogram

by Kristen 2 Comments

Father’s Day is right around the corner and you may be searching for the perfect DIY gift idea.  Today I came across this post for how to make your own mosaic monogram. This is a creative DIY gift that dad will proudly enjoy putting on display at home, or the office.

You may have guessed by the crafts that I highlight that I love mosaics.  Why?  Well, for one reason I enjoy doing mosaics because it’s like working on a big puzzle.  Put a bunch of pieces together to create the perfect design.  I also like mosaics because the pattern and design can be old fashioned, or completely modern.  Your vision can create one of a kind pieces.

Mosaic Monogram

I love the depth of this monogram craft and I like it even more because it was made using cardboard.  No need to spend money on a wooden initial that you get from the store.  No, go DIY all the way and create your own unique letter to use as the base for your mosaic monogram project.  Check out the complete tutorial at Suzy’s Sitcom.  I think you’ll really enjoy working on this one.

DIY Mosaic Painted Mason Jar Lanterns

by Kristen Leave a Comment

A DIY lantern is perfect for outdoor fun and entertaining this summer.  Learn how to take a simple mason jar and paint it with a mosaic pattern to create a colorful lantern that will look beautiful against the glow of a candle.

This tutorial shows you how to paint glass to get a mosaic design.  Add a beaded handle and you can hang these lanterns on a hanger.

If you don’t like the mosaic pattern, just use the same techniques shown in the video and use them to make a painted lantern that matches your style.

All you need to make these beautiful lanterns are some mason jars (aka jam jars), some paint and brushes.
