How To Make Paper Mosaics
Read all of the steps before starting.


Step 1: Project Preparation
      Cut white cardstock or white construction paper as
      mosaic bases. Squares of 8 to 9 inches or rectangles 9
      inches by 12 inches work well. Precut strips of colored
      paper in 1 inch and 遜 inch widths. The children will cut
      the strips to make square, rectangle and triangle pieces.
Step 2: Create Design




 Create a design for your mosaic on a piece of scratch
 paper. When creating a design, it is important to make it
 strong, clear and simple  flowers, birds, fish, and fruit
 work well. Remember that the empty spaces of a design
 are just as important as the drawn objects. Sketch your
 design to size on the mosaic base of white cardstock or
 white construction paper.

 Step 3: Cut Tiles
 Sort through the precut paper strips, selecting colors that
 fit with your design and make pleasing color
 combinations. Cut tiles from the paper strips in squares,
 rectangles, triangles, and diamonds, as needed.
Step 4: Glue Tiles
Glue the tiles to the paper to fill in the design. Place the
tiles close together with white showing between the tiles
like grout. It's best to work in small areas. Apply glue
with a glue stick to a small area of the paper and then
carefully place the paper tiles.

     Step 5: Finish Mosaic
The mosaic can be used as is, or you may want to seal it,
frame it, and/or mount it. For an easy frame, glue it to a
larger sheet of colored construction paper. You could
sandwich the mosaic between two sheets of clear Contac
papercut the sheets 1 inch larger than the mosaic to
create a 遜 inch border. The mosaic could also be sealed
with one or two coats of acrylic sealer (Mod Podge) and
mounted on a board.
