Working with mosaics can sound a little intimidating, but you will be pleasantly surprised how easy it really is!

To make this mosaic Scrabble Game Pieces Lamp Base you will need to spread it out over a couple days; so working over the weekend will probably work best. While you won't be working on the craft project all day long, you do need to allow for time for materials to dry.

To Make a Scrabble Game Pieces Lamp Base You Will Need:

1 Old Lamp Base (any shape, any material)

Grout

Tile Adhesive

Scrabble Game Pieces

The first step is to choose your Lamp Base. Everyone will have a different size lamp base made of different material, so I can only give you tips on how to know how to make your decorative Scrabble Game Pieces Lamp Base.

The entire base of the Lamp Base

Will be covered in tile made from Scrabble Game Pieces.

Now, you need to establish the pattern or lack of pattern you want to create on your Scrabble Game Pieces Lamp Base.

Once you have your pattern established, you need to start working on your Scrabble Game Pieces tiles.

Now, to start applying your Scrabble Game Pieces mosaic tiles I recommend working in sections. This means, add some glue to the back of your individual tile and then place it in the correct location on the lamp base. You can glue directly onto your lamp base whether it is glass, wood, or even some woven material from the 1970's.

Now, once the Scrabble Game Pieces tile pieces have dried in place on the lamp base you can grout. Be sure to read how long your specific tile adhesive needs to fry before you grout.

You can use pre made grout or mix your own to save money.

Takeaways
  • Add a traditional lampshade in white and you are finished!
  • Now, once the grout has dried on your mosaic Scrabble Game Piece tiles you are finished.
  • Let it dry to a haze, then wipe a way with a sponge until clean and clear.
