Problem: Article: In order to make your mosaic, you must have a flat, smooth, waterproof surface to work on. Run a piece of sandpaper back and forth all over the surface of the stump to flatten any sharp edges. Then, coat the surface of the stump with a waterproof sealer to keep the stump from absorbing moisture and expanding and contracting as a result. You want to prevent this because it can cause your mosaic to crack. Use a pencil to draw the image that you're planning to create onto the surface of the stump. This can be anything from your initials to a picture of a sun and moon. Drafting the image beforehand may help to keep you from making a mistake as you make the mosaic. Hold a pair of wheeled tile nippers in your hand and pick up a tile. Place the tile between the 2 wheels with the grooved side facing up and then use both of your hands to squeeze the handle and break the tile. Continue doing this to all of the tiles that you plan to use in your mosaic. You can get mosaic tiles and wheeled tile nippers from your local arts and crafts supply store. Squirt a small dab of wood glue onto the surface of the stump and spread it thin with a spoon if necessary. Then, quickly place a couple pieces of broken tile onto the glue with the grooved side facing down. Press down for several seconds. Repeat this process while creating your entire mosaic. Once you've glued down all of your tiles, let the glue dry for 24 hours. Then, scoop some sand-less grout onto a flexible spatula and apply the grout to the entire surface of your mosaic. Wipe it smooth with the spatula so that the application is desirably even. Let the mosaic dry completely. After about 24 hours, the grout should be dry. At this point, you'll need to clean the grout off of the tiles. Spray white vinegar onto your mosaic. Then, wipe the surface of the tiles clean with a cloth.
Summary: Sand and seal the surface of the stump. Draft your design in pencil. Crack your tiles into pieces. Squirt wood glue onto the stump surface and push down a tile piece. Use a spatula to apply grout to the surface of the mosaic. Clean off the tiles with white vinegar.
