Hand Made Door Number Mosaic
Want to add a sprinkle of magic to your front door? Spruce up the traditional door numbers by inlaying broken tiles, glass, dishes or shells into a piece of wood or tile, you can order a pre-made number or even design your own digits! A great way to up-cycle that broken crockery.
DIY Mosaic Table Top
Personalize your bedroom or kitchen with a gorgeously easy table-top mosaic, simple add tile paste and add your choice of broken glass, pebbles or tile! The perfect, inspiring accompaniment for your morning croissant or bedtime reading lamp.
Broken CD Birdbath
Have you ever noticed that oddly hypnotic holographic glow on the back of CD’s? Put that beauty to use by smashing up old, unused CD’s and sticking them to a pre-existing birdbath for a shimmering garden upgrade. Don’t own a birdbath? No worries, use a large plate or tray!
Broken China Mosaic Pots
Never fret over smashed China again; it can be made into something even more beautiful! Upgrade your planters and pots with a slick of floral mosaic. Less waste, more nature, more beauty.
DIY Mosaic Gazing Ball
Add a sphere of color and mystery to your outdoor spaces with a DIY mosaic gazing ball.
With complete versatility in color, size, and style, these centerpieces look gorgeous hidden in rockeries or lush, leafy sections. You can use a tennis ball, a football, or a bowling ball!

Woah this is super cool! I remember making paper mosaics as a kid but these hacks are way cooler!
I need to try these out! I need to brighten up some spots, especially now since I’m in my home so much.
These are such smart DIY hacks! I especially like mosaic table tops and the china pots; I’ll be trying out a few ideas at home during this period.
I got so excited as I read this article and saw all these amazing crafts! I especially love the bird baths and the revamped basketballs. Gave me so many ideas for what to do when my nephew and niece break stuff and for new fun projects!
I love that these are all reusing materials already around the house. It’s a great way to use up something rather than sending it to the landfill. My boys love making mosaics with cut pieces from old magazines to hang in their bedrooms.
My father in law and great grandfather had a great living making pottery and designing it with mosaics. They used old plates. These are great ideas. I’d love to try my hand.
I love the idea of being able to do a mosaic on a budget, that way anyone can have one. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
This will be a great project to do during quarantine love the tables.
Okay! THIS would be a seriously FUN project to take part in right now considering we have a lot more time at HOME these days!
Oh I love the flower pot and I love the address on the house. Those are awesome ideas!
I like the simple black digits are spruced up with a broken floral tile. I will try it.
Oh wow, I LOVE the table done in shades of aqua. That would look STUNNING on my pool deck! I might have to tackle something like that…
Everything is beautiful. It’s a perfect project that I could do at this time if I had your skills.
It’s very cute! I love this. I will make a plan with my partner to decorate our room with this.
There are a lot of great ideas here. And I feel like these would work well to do some with my kids. Thanks for some great ideas.
Wow I love this I have a lots of unused CD’s so I would definitely try this DYI mosaic hacks! Thanks a lot!
The handicraft is ingenious peoples every area of the globe is very rich and famous. Your hand made things like door number mosaic, table top, DIY mosaic gazing ball are amazing and beautiful…..
The house number in mosaic format is probably one of the things I love most. It gives personality to the house and talks about its owners.
Your art work is gorgeous! I would love this in my flower garden
This is so amazing and I will definitely try making this project in our garden pots. Thank you for sharing this idea with us!
Well, we all have the time on our hands these days to get a little creative and make a DIY mosaic. I really love the mosaics on the tables the most.
Such talent you have! These are just beautiful!
Wow you make this looks so easy. Can’t wait to try.
I did an entire university project on Roman mosaics and I loved them, I always wondered how I could incorporate mosaics into my own home, you’ve given me some great ideas, thanks!

These are all incredible! Who knew it could be this easy to create a beautiful mosaic!
I love art and I am very passionate about it, pretty sure I will be doing one of these activities at home
Amazing piece of hand made mosaics. They are really beautiful
I really like the coffee table with the peacock mosaic design. This is so artistic and creative!
Some great ideas here, I am not too sure if I would be able to do the table deco as nice but would love to have a go at the door or house number signage
I’d love to try to make a table top. I need to change up my decor a bit.
I don’t quite yet have a house per se, but when I do this will come in hand haha
I’ve had all the materials to make a mosaic birdbath for a while, just never around to it. Thanks for the motivation. Once the weather brightens up this weekend I’m gonna give it a go!
I like all the designs. They are colorful and they blended well with each other. How did you break all those colorful pieces? Are these tiles available in the hardware stores? the pieces seemed cut of the same size.
These are awesome ideas! I would love to do a DIY bird bath. What a great way to upcycle broken ceramics.
These are beautiful. Also a great idea for an activity with the family.
These are all gorgeous! The CD idea for the birdbath is beautiful – and I love the house numbers, too! Tempted to try a tabletop for our new back deck, though…now to find a table! 🙂
All these mosaics are so beautiful. I remembered when I made the door number mosaic it was so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
The mosaic pots are so beautiful, they would brighten up the look of my garden. I like the DIY house number as well, reminds me of the Mediterranean countries.
Such pretty mosaic crafts! I wish I had that much talent to make stuff like that. I will still try, and start on a small project, like a flower pot first. Thanks for the inspiration!
Now these are mosaic projects that I can handle as a starter. I am a crater so I know that I can go for some of these project ideas. They are so cool and I especially love the house number plaque that you have pictured. I am totally making one for my house!
These are all absolutely stunning. I’m sure they add a beautiful touch to the home.
Great DIy mosaic ideas. I really like the flower pot ideas
These are all such great ideas! I love the pots and the address signs!!

I’d love to do something like this with a piece in my home, especially patio furniture…I think it would look so beautiful. I just love mosaic art…thanks for the inspo!
I’ve been looking for a fun design project to do and this looks perfect! Thanks for the inspo.
I love these mosaic additions to my crafty side of me. I just never got to this part of crafting.
The bird bath mosaic is so cool, love that old cd/ dvd’s can be re-purposed like this.

Oh i love these ideas , i have never worked with mosaic before but these examples really got me inspired , i cannot wait for the lockdown to end so i can create my own door number
These ideas are amazing! The results of the DIY are amazing and I think I could pull off one or two of them myself!
This is incredibly beautiful and creative.
Wow! These are incredible ideas. Something to keep us busy while at home.
These DIY mosaic hacks are super nice and they are budget friendly too! I like it.
I love this. To me mosaics are timeless works of art, and to be able to create a small one of my own….well that is special!
These are all so beautiful! I’d love to try my hand at the bird bath and outdoor table. I have the main pieces, just need to find some stuff to break! Thanks for the inspiration.
