Handmade will never come out of fashion, will always be valued more expensive and give the interior or individual items the highlight and uniqueness that no one can repeat. Consider how you can create such a mosaic on the example of the master class.
Creating a sketch
Best of all the paintings from the bat tile look when the drawing is ordered and expresses a certain thought of the designer. When there is not enough ideas, you can inspire other people's masterpieces. Not necessarily exactly to repeat the drawings. When you explore the photo, you have a lot of ideas to create your own, unique decor.
You need to carry the sketch on the surface, starting from the center, then the drawing will look more harmonious and balanced. And also, first of all, it is necessary to pay attention to complex figures, the background can be left at last.
The sketch can be drawn by a simple pencil, in the process of the circuit work will be lost.
Preparatory stage
The first question to which you need to answer is where to take the right number of the tile bat? If the panel is supposed to be made quite large in size, then the material will be needed quite a lot. There are several options as you can get a ceramic tile to make a fragment from it later.
First, ask in building stores, perhaps they have a non-alendial product, the price of which is significantly reduced due to marriage, plump corners or other damage. To create a picture on the wall just do not need a whole tile, it will still have to be broken.
Secondly, find Masters-Tiler, often dealing with repairs. The old ceramic tile, removed before laying a new one. And perhaps, and you recently did repairs in the house or plan it, then you will not have to contact anyone.

The tile of different colors is preferable to one-photon, it will turn out a brighter and interesting ornament. For more varieties, you can add to the ceramic tiles of the splinters of dishes or glass vases.
Often, patterns require clear geometric shapes, so the resulting raw material is partially needed to cut into glass cutter or stovetur. The rest can be broken with a hammer into small fragments. Pre-tile wrap a piece of fabric to avoid cuts.
Then you should prepare the surface to which you will. Due to the fact that pieces of small tiles, they will not be able to disguise the irregularities. Use a cement-sand tie, plaster, putty. On plasterboard pieces of tiles will also be skilled perfectly. After processing, the surface must be primed.
Getting to work
For laying mosaic, special glue will be required. If these are concrete walls in the bathroom, then you need a mosaic glue. To lad out pieces of a bit tile on a wooden surface, for example, on the doors of the lockers for the kitchen, it is better to use the adhesive on an epoxy-based or liquid nails. If it is assumed that the surface will be subjected to vibration, use silicone sealants and mastic. This, for example, when you decorate the dining table, which the whole family will constantly put cups and plates.
Selecting the glue that fully meets the conditions, you can start laying the tile. It is necessary to smear it and on the tile itself, and to the surface.
Work with small sites so that the glue does not have time to dry.
Much attention should be paid to the height of laying tiles. If the pieces of the tile of one thickness, then the smooth surface of the mosaic to achieve much easier. If the thickness is different, then you will have to add an excess amount of glue. The uneven surface of the mosaic can create problems - you will touch for the protruding parts, which can lead to inconveniences and even injuries. Take something flat, for example, a piece of plywood, and periodically press it to the laid out.

Shutkish seams
The final stage in creating a mosaic is putting seams. It is possible to start this procedure only after the final drying of the panel, that is, no earlier than a day.
Grout for mosaic, like glue, also requires special. The perfect option is made on the basis of epoxy resin with the effect of chameleon. She is durable and knows how to "adapt" to the color of each piece. You will need a rubber spatula to apply grouting and a wet foam sponge to remove residuals.
