Another Glass Tile Mosaic Mirror

My green finished mosaic mirror.

I made another mosaic mirror using streaky green Bullseye glass and a different pattern. I think this one will go in the guest bathroom and the blue streaky one will go in our en suite. This mosaic began as a $10 second hand mirror in a painted wood frame from the local Good Will thrift store.

After completely stripping the existing paint and finish from the mirror, layout your pattern and then glue the glass tiles to the frame using thinset.

Add glass tiles to the frame.

Continue adding tiles until complete.

I love the streaky green tiles that run around the frame. The colors are fresh and cool and very springy!

How to Make a Mosaic Mirror

My finished mosaic mirror.

I love the deep midnight blues and cool shades of turquoise that play across the streaky glass tiles of the mosaic mirror. It reminds me of an a day spent by the ocean.

To make each tile, I measure and hand cut each square and then carefully arrange them in a single layer to create a gradient that moves from shades of dark to light. The tiles are then "glued' to the frame with thin-set mortar.

Everyone needs a beautiful, sunny day by the sea to watch the blue waves slowly roll through the water. I hope this mirror reminds you of that day.
