Mosaic Tutorials: How To Mosaic A Wine Bottle
by Jennifer and Kitty O'Neil
The O'Neil Sisters
Running With Sisters

This mosaic wine bottle project features beachy colors and shells. It's a great summer craft for outdoors. We'll show you everything you need to know to make your own mosaic wine bottle.

We'll show you all the tools and materials. We'll take you step by step through the mosaic process and show you how we made our design. We'll show you how to glue your tiles down (including what kind of glue to use).

Then we'll show you exactly how we mix the grout, what the best consistency is for the grout, and how to use the grout right on your mosaic. Once we grout the mosaic tiles, we'll show you how to buff them clean and after a drying time of 24 hours, we'll show you how to seal your wine bottle to weather the outdoors. This won't make it waterproof, but will help it stand up to some elements.

Here Are The Tools And Materials Needed To Make The Mosaic Wine Bottle

Materials To Make The Mosaic Wine Bottle
Wine bottle
Tiles, 3/8” to 1/4” square (blues and greens and peaches)
Large scallop shell
Small and medium sized shells
Half pearl stickers
White sanded grout
Mosaic grout sealer
Clear silicone adhesive

Other Supplies
Plastic disposable container to mix the grout in
Putty knife or wooden paint stirring stick
Sponge
Gloves
Measuring spoon
Plastic cup for water
Paper towels

Steps To Make The Mosaic Wine Bottle:
1. Glue the tiles and shells to the wine bottle. Try to keep your grout lines (the spaces between your tiles pretty slim about 1/8”) . Let the glue set up. We used 100% clear silicone as our glue.
2. Mix the grout according to the instructions on your package. Ours is 1 part water to 7 parts grout, but it always needs more water. Stir and adjust the ratio until the grout is the consistency of natural peanut butter. Once the grout is mixed you have 15 minutes to use it.
3. Spread the grout right over the tiles and up to the edges of the shells. Use a craft stick to push the grout in between the shells. Wipe off any excess grout from the surface of the tiles.
4. Wait 30 minutes then use a dry paper towel to buff the surfaces of the tiles.
5. Let the mosaic dry for 24 hours then paint it with a thin layer of mosaic sealer. We used a foam brush for this step.
