Consider the size of your mosaic base when collecting your mosaic pieces.If you don’t have any material lying around your house, try buying mosaic tiles in your local arts and crafts store. They can be glass, stones, porcelain, seashells, or anything else you can find. The small pieces of material used in a mosaic art are called tesserae. Select the material you want to use to make your mosaic design. If you want to make a mosaic on a terra cotta pot, for example, either take the pot inside in cold weather or apply several coats of sealant when you are finished to protect it from the elements. Terracotta bases are more risky for outdoor mosaics since they can be susceptible to freezing damage.
A mesh metal pizza tray works especially well for making decorative glass gem mosaics.You can find thin concrete boards at your local building material store. The best mosaic base for outdoor mosaics is concrete because it is the most weather-resistant.Your base can be any shape, but be careful with very extreme curves because you will need very small mosaic tiles to fill the curves.
Dry the base completely before you start applying the mosaic pieces to it. Use a damp sponge to scrub off any stubborn debris.
