Pottery Barn Inspired Mosaic Tutorial

PB Inspired Mosaic Tutorial by Remodelaholic

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:

DIY Paper Mosaic
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′)

mosaic tutorial

DIY Paper Mosaic
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!

    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 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!

    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.
