1. Choose the Materials:
Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary materials on hand. You will need:
- Pixel mosaic tiles in different colors (available from us in classic size 2.3 cm or mini size 1.2 cm
- A solid support board such as a wooden board, plexiglass or flexible support like the mosaic grid sold at Pixel Corner
- Mosaic glue
- Graph paper or pattern template
2. Prepare the Support Board:
Start by cutting or preparing your support board to the desired size for your pixel mosaic. Make sure it is strong enough to support the weight of the mosaic tiles and provides a flat surface to work on.
3. Create your Pattern:
Use graph paper or create a pattern template on the computer. This will help you visualize your design and arrange the colors of the pixel mosaic tiles before you start gluing. To find out more, visit our blog article detailing the different techniques for drawing pixel art.
4. Glue the Tiles:
Start gluing them one by one on the support board by adding a dot of glue to the back of each tile (preferable to lines of glue which can quickly create large blocks ^^). Then arrange them on the support board following the pattern you created. Make sure to follow the pattern you created and keep the tiles well aligned for a uniform and attractive final result.
5. Leave to Dry and Finish:
Once you have finished adhering all the tiles, allow the mosaic to dry for the recommended time of 12 to 24 hours. Depending on the tiles you have chosen, you can add a coat of protective varnish to seal your artwork and give it a beautiful shine.
Congratulations, you have now created your own pixel mosaic! Whether you hang it on the wall as a decorative centerpiece or use it as a unique coaster, your creation is sure to impress. Don't hesitate to experiment with different colors and patterns to create even more original works. Have fun tinkering!
