Mosaic House Numbers
We put up a new fence, and in the proccess lost the old house numbers.
- On a side note while i'm here, Why are house numbers soooo expensive??? Whats the reasoning behind that?
Doesn't matter ordinary house numbers are too boring, anyway, can't be puting those on a shiny new fence. Besides, this is a crafting house and all those visit must know this!
A couple of plates and bolws got damaged recently and seemed a shame just throw them away. So, they are going to be reurposed into some lovely mosaic house numbers.
You Will Need ...
- Old china (smashed)
- Mosaic outdoor adhesive glue
- Outdoor Mosaic or tile grout
- A drill
- Four screws
- Waterproofing varnish (transparent)
Method.
First thing you have to do is drill the holes for the screws. It is too late to do this once the tiles are added.
Alternatively, you add a hook to the back of the wood instead of screwing it down with four screws. If you do this, add the hook before you do any mosaicing.
You can also place the china in a bag or between towels and smash with a hammer.
Wipe away the excess immediatley, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe the grout off the surface of the tiles.
Just to be sure I added a clear varnish. Nothing wrong with a waterproofing layer.
