After three coats of sealer (I don’t want ANY mold getting in!) the tile is complete!! The total cost for this whole project was only $78!!!!! With a little resourcefulness and willingness to get dirty an extremely custom tiling job can be done anywhere!

Well, it is actually happening… there are tiles on the wall!! What a journey I’ve had with this project. Laying tile is not at easy as it may seem. Follow the steps I took to lay the tile after the jump!

After doing so many panels of this mosaic I’ve found some “best practices” that would be helpful to know at the onset if you ever want to do this type of tiling. I have been using self-adhesive drywall tape to stick the tiles to (this lessens the time it would take to put a drop of glue on the back of each tile). The tape I found came in a 3″ wide roll so I cut 1 foot long pieces and stack 3 on top of each other (as you see after the jump).
