How to make

Step 1

Start by deciding on your design, we've got a simple crown template you can download and cut out of card, or you can come up with your own. Paper plates make a great base for sun's and face's for example.

Step 2

Get your mosaic parts ready, tear or cut up coloured tissue and scrunch into balls, cut coloured card into squares, pick your gems. Get a lot of glue ready in a pot.

Step 3

Now for the fun part, get sticking, the best bit about a mosaic is that it doesn't have to perfect and you can mix and match what you use. All scrunched up tissue, a mix of card and gems, a little bit of everything. With the tissue I found it best to dip and stick, with the card and gems I preferred to cover the base and then place my mosaic pieces.

Step 4

When dry you can trim any excess bits off and your mosaic is complete.
