Faux Mosaic Tag…

Aug 25, 2008

I’m going to try some­thing new with my blog. Each week I am going to try my best to fea­ture a fun and easy tech­nique for you all to try. This week is going to be all about cre­at­ing faux mosaics using pat­terned paper. This is a very sim­ple tech­nique that can be used on any project and with any theme.

To recre­ate this tag you will need: 1 Medium sized Office Tag, a 1″ square scal­lop punch by Martha Stew­art, pat­terned papers by Web­ster Page’s and Tera Leigh’s Faux Mosaic Kit by Ranger, 1 Flower and some ribbon.

Instruc­tions:

  • Using a paint brush cover your project with Faux Mosaic Grout; let dry.
  • Using a paint brush cover entire tag with Faux Mosaic Glue; let dry.
  • Punch enough scal­lop squares to cover entire tag and arrange onto tag mak­ing sure to apply Faux Mosaic Glue to the back of each scal­lop square; let dry.
  • Using a paint brush cover entire altered tag with Mosaic Glue; let dry.
  • Using a paint brush cover each scal­lop square with Faux Mosaic Tile Glaze; let dry.

I hope you give this tech­nique a try. I think any project using this tech­nique will cer­tainly be a cher­ished gift by it’s recipient.

Have fun!

    Très belle tech­nique. Il faut que je l’essaie mais vais-je trou­ver les four­ni­tures en France ? Merci pour le partage et le tuto. Micha
