Paper Mosaic

Create a mosaic look by adhering tiny paper pieces to your paper.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Create paper mosaic "tiles" by trimming paper into small squares of various sizes.

   

2. Step 2

   Mark an outline on base paper of the general area to cover with mosaic.

   

3. Step 3

   Begin the mosaic by using a paintbrush to apply a small amount of Mod Podge to the cardstock and lining up the paper squares.
   
   Hint:
   Work in a small area at a time as the thin coat of Mod Podge can dry rather quickly.

   

4. Step 4

   Continue to add paper tiles until mosaic is complete. Cover with a top coat of Mod Podge. Allow to dry thoroughly.

   

5. Step 5

   Stamp image with permanent ink, being careful not to smear the image on the glossy surface.

   

6. Step 6

   Trim image and complete the card.
   
   

   

7. Optional:
   Instead of stamping, die-cut shapes from the mosaic.
