If you want more of a random “found” shape instead of a specific shape, then the solution is to use a piece of scrap plywood or flagstone depending on whether or not the mosaic is outdoors. Oh what might have been… Irregularly-Shaped Backers The saddest customer picture we ever received was a picture of a beautiful mosaic design (serious, intense, original) executed on the most boring, cutesy, cliche shape of a ladybug. Also, most of that craft crapola is designed in China, and it all looks rather dated. If you buy a shaped backer from a craft supplier, then your mosaic will have exactly the same shape and size as all the other mosaics made from that particular backer.
The last section about custom-shaped backers for outdoors should be useful for people making mosaic signs and placards.
#WOODEN MOSAIC SHAPES HOW TO#
Note that not every location in a kitchen or bathroom has to be considered as being “wet.”įirst, I will discuss irregularly-shaped backers, and then I will explain how to make custom-shaped backers for both indoors and outdoors. How you make such a backer and what materials you use depends on whether or not the mosaic will be installed in an outdoor or wet location. Rectangular backers are fine for most mosaic designs, but sometimes you want to make an irregularly-shaped mosaic or a mosaic with a custom shape, such as the silhouette of a common object: tree, automobile, flower, turtle, etc.
