Materials:

Teacher’s note: stained glass chips and grout create approximately 24 projects.

Delphi’s Instructions for Mosaic Direct Method (www.lessonplanspage.com/ArtDelphiDirectMethodMosaics112.htm)

.

Directions:

Refer to

Delphi’s Instructions for Mosaic Direct Method (www.lessonplanspage.com/ArtDelphiDirectMethodMosaics112.htm)

for detailed instructions.

1.   If working with a pattern, use carbon paper to trace the pattern onto the pot.

2.   Students nip and glue on chips either alone or combined with a pre-cut. Students create their own design or follow a pattern provided by teacher.

3.   Allow glue to set for 24 hours.

4.   Mix up grout and apply to pots.

5.   Remove excess grout and sponge off any grout on the flower pot rim. Let grout dry.

6.   Buff glass pieces clean.

Tips:

1.   If students are familiar with stained glass cutting techniques (see

www.lessonplanspage.com/ArtDelphiGlassCuttingTechniques912.htm


), they can cut specific shapes, or you can use pre-cut designs. Delphi’s Pre-Cut Stained Glass Daisy (#8971U), Frog (#425519U) or Dragonfly (#425520U) designs work great on flower pots.

2.   This project works great on any sized pot. For larger flower pots, you can combine pre-cuts or cluster the daisies to form floral bunches.
