I am so excited to be here at U create, I feel like I’ve made it to the big times, I want to break out in song… “Start spreading the news…”! But you wouldn’t hear me anyway, right? So, moving on. Thank you so much Kari for letting me share this little project! Let me introduce myself, I am Cassity from Remodelaholic.
I have whipped up a little pottery barn inspired art work tutorial for y’all. Seen here:
See, while looking through my trusty catalog I saw this (below), and I loved the mosaic piece of art. So, I set my trusty little mind to figuring out a way to make this for myself, and now you can too.
( like my scrawl on the picture… that is how I remember random ideas that float around in my brain…)
Supplies
Paper cutter
Scrapbook paper
(in the colors of your decor)
Paint
(for background, in color of your choice, I used black)
Paper glue
Modge Podge
Piece of wood or Art canvas
(mdf or osb something inexpensive! Have this cut to your desired dimensions,
both Home Depot and Lowes will cut 4 x 8 foot boards down,
or they sell smaller 2′ x 4′ pieces usually on an endcap…,
I wanted mine to fill a larger space, so I did mine at 3′ x 3′)
There you have it. An easy work of art that can be custom made to match any decor.
If you get the chance, please stop by Remodelaholic you will find tons of tutorials!
Love it! We built a fireplace in our living room and I have been searching for something for the mantle. I didnt want tacky and I didnt want to spend a ton of money.. heading to home depot tomorrow.. thanks!!!!

That’s gorgeous!! I may have to attempt that!
Grat idea! I think my son would love this for his college apartment…an inexpensive and easy great look! He also enjoys “creating”!

Wowzers…that is awesome! Your take turned out beautifully, thanks for sharing!
I found it!!!!! This is what is going over my fireplace. You rock! I am SO at home depot tonight!
Beautifully done!
Whoa, love this!! I always loved mosaic but was afraid to do it with tiles ‘coz of the heavy work..but this sure is fun!!
Wonderful idea! I am so going to have to try this!
you got my wheels turning! It’s just SO GORGEOUS! I wonder if I cna’t take this idea for a backsplash! Hmmm!! Maybe with a few coats of very thick varnish!!
Love this. Not sure if I have the patience to cut all these!

love it I have friends that make stepping stones out of broken glass I must say this looks grand
WOW! This is beautiful! I love the colors you used! Awesome job!
I love it. I did something like this, but with paint chips from Lowes. It turned out great.
Thanks for joining Get Your Craft on Thurs. Please come by next week for another great party.

Holy cow, that is gorgeous! I thought it was glass tile!

That is incredible–the blues are beautiful. Thanks so much for linking up!
This is a cool idea… I actually do “real” mosaic tile art (meaning, with glass/ceramic tiles!) and have one similar to yours hanging in my bedroom – a lot more time intensive and messy, but can be beautiful and substantial. If you ever want to post a tutorial on how to do the real thing, I’d love to do one for your blog!

I love mosaic art! Good job!
This is wonderful – I’m very inspired to give it a try. Thank you for the tips.

Now that’s using the “little gray cells”. Great job!
Love,
Susan and Bentley
xxoo
That looks adorable, nice project!
i counted your squares and i think i came up with more than 36 from top to bottom … so did i count wrong or are your squares or board a different size than you mentioned.
if you have a 36 inch square and 36 squares … then none of the black would show …
it looks really prett … but i have to stress over the details!
This is just outrageously beautiful! Great job!
My word. I cannot believe that is made out of paper! It seriously looks like tile. How gorgeous. I may have to try that technique on something. All of those teeny little squares will be the end of me, though.
Wow – that is an awesome project! Just amazing!!!
Thanks so much for linking up to my party! I really appreciate it!
XOXO

Note to self: Replace the artwork behind the couch ASAP!
Great project! Thank you for sharing this!
This is so brilliant. I am starting it on Monday. Thank you! I love mosaics and sea glass and this looks like the most perfect marriage of the two. So great!
Too fabulous! Love it!

I really appreciate it! Thank you
I’m going to buy supplies tomorrow. What type of wood did you use and how did you mount it? Plywood?

Fabulous!
Fabulous!
