Turn broken glass or small tiles into a beautiful house for your feathery friends.

You just build the mosaic look over an existing birdhouse, which you can pick up at Walmart or any home improvement store for around $10 or less. Or, if you want to be really crafty, you can build the wooden birdhouse yourself and then add your mosaics.

You can also set them around the house or hang them from the deck.

8. DIY Mosaic Cinder Block Raised Garden Bed

I adore the idea of building this raised garden bed with cinder blocks.

Not that I have never built a raised cinder block garden, but I have certainly never decorated it with mosaics.

I love this for flower beds or you could even do a small vegetable garden if you want it to be really fancy. Just build your raised bed and then add your mosaic decorations.

Not only are these cocktail coasters beautiful and really easy to make, they’re made with upcycled jar lids so you get to turn trash to treasure with this one.

12. DIY Eggshell Mosaic Picture Frame

This eggshell mosaic picture frame is actually made with eggshells! I love the thought of upcycling eggshells into something so lovely and you don’t need a frame either. You make this with cardboard and then cover it with your colored eggshells.

To get the look, you just paint dry eggshells in whatever shades you want with acrylic paint. Once the pain has dried, just crack the shells into small pieces and create your design.

This one however, is made from broken mason jars, or any old jars that you may have on hand. Talk about turning trash into treasure!

This would be so beautiful in the bathroom or you could do it in the kitchen as well. What a wonderful way to upcycle empty food jars and turn them into something spectacular!

Turn an ordinary mason jar – or any empty jar for that matter – into a beautiful display for flowers or anything else when you add mosaics. You just use a strong adhesive to glue your mosaic glass pieces onto the jars. When they are dry, they make beautiful candles.

Ordinary mason jars themselves are great but when you add this sea glass look, they become even better.

Doing mosaics over mason jars is really easy and you can create any number of beach worthy looks from seashells and other coastal colored tiles and stones.

I love the thought of tying a seashell to the top with twine or burlap and then adding tealights to give your patio a beautiful beach like glow.

This is a gorgeous serving tray that is perfect for carrying lemonade and other cool drinks out to the patio on hot summer days.

ou can find tiles in different shapes at any home improvement store and a nice coat of epoxy holds it all together.

27. Mosaic Board Succulent Planter

Turn those tiles or broken glass into a beautiful succulent planter. The plants are housed in broken teacups or coffee mugs and you can use similar items to create the mosaic effect.

This one is a bit time consuming and may take you a couple of days to complete.

Once it’s finished though, it is a beautiful way to display those succulents on your porch or in the house.

28. DIY Glass Mosaic Vase

Transform an ordinary and inexpensive vase into something that looks like you bought it on Fifth Avenue. I love the use of mosaics to turn ordinary things into spectacular creations.

You can pick up a vase at the Dollar Store for around a dollar and using mosaics, turn it into something that others pay a small fortune for in high end stores. Note that you will want this to dry for 24 hours and then seal it with a wet seal to keep water drips from ruining your mosaic design.
