DIY Mosaic Coasters Kit - Gift Republic

This kit provides the materials to create two complete mosaic coasters.

No, the kit includes all the necessary tools like a spatula and sponge for application and cleanup.

Gently wipe them with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging them in water.

The active crafting time is a few hours, but you will need to allow for significant drying and curing time for the glue and grout, typically spread over 2-3 days.

This kit is suitable for older children with adult supervision, especially during the gluing and grouting stages, due to small parts and craft materials.

The kit is designed to provide sufficient materials for two coasters. If you find you need more, standard craft glue and tile grout can be purchased separately from craft stores.

The glass mosaic tiles are generally smooth on the top surface, but edges might have slight sharpness. Handle with care during placement.

Ensure the bamboo surface is clean and dry before applying glue. Use sufficient glue and press tiles firmly. Allow adequate drying time for the glue.

Follow the grout mixing instructions precisely. If too dry, add a tiny amount of water; if too wet, add a small amount of grout powder until the correct consistency is reached.

Wipe away excess grout while it is still slightly pliable, but not too wet. Use a damp (not soaking wet) sponge and rinse it frequently. A final buff with a dry cloth once cured can remove haze.

Ensure all components (glue and grout) have been allowed to cure fully as per the instructions. Inadequate drying can lead to weakness.
