FLOWER POT

Gather your supplies

Small terracotta plant pot Pot sealer

4 ceramic tiles Patterned china plate Tile adhesive Handful of glass pebbles Sanded grout

You’ll also need

Paintbrush; safety glasses; gloves; flexible knife; trowel; soft cloth; sandpaper; tile nippers; hammer

Here’s how

STEP 1 Apply sealer to the inside of the terracotta plant pot with a paintbrush, then leave to dry.

STEP 2 Wearing safety glasses, break tiles and china with the hammer.

STEP 3 Wearing gloves and using a plastic knife, spread a thin layer of adhesive to a small area. Press mosaic pieces and glass pebbles into the adhesive. Continue until the pot is covered. Leave to dry overnight.

STEP 4 Slather grout into the crevices of the mosaic tiles with your gloved fingertips or trowel. Remove excess grout by wiping the mosaic with a clean damp soft cloth. Again, leave the piece to dry overnight.

STEP 5 Use sandpaper to remove any lumps of tile adhesive or grout that may have dried onto the surface of the tiles, and to neaten the bottom edge of the pot.

STEP 6 Polish the finished mosaic with a dry, soft cloth.
