Mosaic art is endlessly versatile. From small decorative pieces to ambitious garden installations, there's a project to suit every skill level and style. Here are ten of our favourite mosaic project ideas for adult crafters.
1–3: Perfect for beginners
1. A framed mosaic picture. Choose a simple motif and work on a square MDF base. Our butterfly mosaic kit and heart mosaic kit are perfect starting points.
2. Mosaic coasters. Practical and pretty — use cork tile bases, vitreous glass, and waterproof grout for a durable result.
3. A decorated plant pot. Transform a plain terracotta pot with a mosaic design using outdoor adhesive and grout.
4–6: Intermediate projects
4. A mosaic mirror frame. Frames are a classic project — the irregular shape suits mosaic beautifully.
5. A garden stepping stone. Durable, weatherproof, and genuinely impressive with a concrete base and exterior materials.
6. A mosaic house number sign. A personalised number plaque for your front door using glass or ceramic tiles on slate.
7–9: More ambitious ideas
7. A mosaic trivet. Our floral trivet kit is a beautiful example — functional kitchen art that makes a wonderful gift.
8. A feature wall panel. A mosaic panel for an outdoor wall or kitchen splashback is a stunning long-term project.
9. A birdbath. Coat a plain concrete birdbath in mosaic tiles for a garden centrepiece that lasts for years.
10: The ongoing project
