How to Create a Mosaic Mirror Frame

A mosaic mirror frame is a beautiful and unique way to add personality to your home. Whether you’re using broken china, tiles, or even beads, the possibilities are endless. Here's how to get started on your own mosaic mirror frame:

Gather your materials

You will need:

A mirror
Tiles, broken china, or other mosaic materials
Thinset mortar
Grout
A notched trowel
A grout float
A sponge or rag
Safety glasses
Gloves

Prepare the mirror

Clean the mirror thoroughly and make sure it is dry.

Apply the thinset mortar

Using a notched trowel, apply a thin layer of thinset mortar to the back of the mirror. Be sure to spread the mortar evenly.

Set the tiles

Begin setting the tiles in the mortar. You can use a variety of techniques to create different looks. For example, you can set the tiles in a straight line, in a random pattern, or even in a mosaic design. Be sure to press the tiles firmly into the mortar.

Grout the tiles

Once the tiles are set, you can grout them. This will help to seal the tiles and keep them in place. Using a grout float, apply the grout to the tiles. Be sure to press the grout into the joints between the tiles.
