Seal the porous surface of terracotta pots with a coat of diluted waterproof PVA glue. Next, adhere the mosaic tiles or broken crockery to the pot with thick, undiluted PVA, leaving a slight gap between the pieces.
When the glue is dry and the mosaic pieces are fixed in place, apply grout with a spreader, making sure that the product is suitable for outdoor use. Push the grout into all the gaps between the tiles or shards.
Mosaic tools include tile nippers to cut and shape glass tiles into smaller pieces. Wearing safety goggles to protect eyes from any stray shards, position the nippers on the tile and squeeze the handles together to snap it. To break crockery,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], wrap the items in old towel and hit with a hammer.

Mosaic Materials and Tools
As well as exquisite glass mosaic tiles, available in a rainbow of colours and iridescent lustre finishes, mosaic crafts can involve a whole range of different materials. Broken vases, ceramic tiles and chipped crockery can all be recycled to make mosaic pots. For a pretty, vintage look, search for old-fashioned plates and china tea-sets at car boot sales and in charity shops. Pebbles, shells, beach glass, buttons, beads and glass nuggets are also suitable for outdoor mosaics.
Mosaic art supplies are available from art and craft stores,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and specialist mosaic tile suppliers.
More Craft Ideas for Homes and Gardens
Instead of an overall,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], random pattern, try drawing motifs on the surface to create a decorative design, and fill each area with the required colour of mosaic material.
For expensive artisan style without breaking the bank, transform plain terracotta pots into striking, one-of-a-kind mosaic planters. These handmade mosaic flower pots will turn an everyday plot into a unique and beautiful garden.
Versatile, easy to do, and ideal for even the smallest of spaces, container gardening has never been more popular. Planted up, an eclectic assortment of decorative garden pots looks stunning grouped together on the patio, or dotted between the foliage in a border. And with an array of gorgeous plants to choose from, collecting pots can become addictive.

To finish, wipe down with a damp cloth to remove any excess from the surface of the mosaic.

When the grout sets,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], polish the mosaic pot with a dry cloth.
