To make Scrabble Game Pieces Mosaic Kitchen Counter Tops you will need to spread it out over a couple days; so working over the weekend will probably work best. While you won’t be working on the craft project all day long, you do need to allow for time for materials to dry.
To Make Scrabble Game Pieces Mosaic Kitchen Counter Tops You Will Need:
Grout
Tile Adhesive
Scrabble Game Pieces
Sand paper
The first step is to clean your kitchen counter tops, garage counter tops, art studio counter tops, or bathroom counter tops. Now, if you are working around a sink you will need to go ahead and remove it. Once you are finished you can re install it on the counter tops.
Everyone will have a different sized kitchen counter tops, so I can only give you tips on how to know how to make your Scrabble Game Pieces Mosaic Kitchen Counter Tops.
The entire counter tops will be covered in tile made from Scrabble Game Pieces.
Now, you need to establish the pattern or lack of pattern you want to create on your Scrabble Game Pieces Mosaic Kitchen Counter Tops. Personally, I like a random pattern, but that is up to you. You could spell out specific words if you want.
Once you have your pattern established, you need to start working on your Scrabble Game Pieces Mosaic Kitchen Counter Tops.
So, take some rough sand paper and start to sand off the shine from our laminate counter tops.
When you have finished you can wee away any dust.
Now, to start applying your Scrabble Game Pieces I recommend working in sections. This means, add some glue to the back of your individual scrabble piece and then place it in the correct location on the kitchen counter tops. You can glue directly onto your laminate counter tops as long as you sand them up and remove the shine.
Now, once the Scrabble Game Pieces have dried in place on the kitchen counter tops you can grout. Be sure to read how long your specific tile adhesive needs to dry before you grout.
You can use pre made grout or mix your own to save money.
You can buy grout in almost any color imaginable.
Use a trowel to apply the grout liberally over each Scrabble Game Piece on the kitchen counter tops. Let it dry to a haze, then wipe a way with a sponge until clean and clear.
Now, once the grout has dried on your Scrabble Game Pieces Kitchen Counter Tops you are finished. You can also use a clear sealer to protect the small wooden pieces.
