Mosaics 101: How To Cut Glass for Mosaics

Learn to score and break glass to create your own mosaic tiles. They are perfect for a mosaic on a glass candleholder to let the candlelight shine through. And cutting glass is easier than you think!

To get started cutting glass you will need to put on safety glasses and wear leather protective gloves.

We bought our glass sheets at Hobby Lobby. You can also find sheets of glass at places that sell stained glass supplies. To cut the glass sheets into glass tiles for mosaics, we will show you how to use a glass cutter. A glasscutter is an inexpensive tool you can get at the hardware store. You hold it upright and use the sharp end to score the glass. You are making a scratch across the glass. Then you can hold the glass sheet in one hand and use pliers (we wrapped ours in masking tape) to break the glass where you made the score line. Repeat the process to score and break the glass into tiles.

Glass tiles are great for mosaics on glass surfaces. We like to find a straight-sided glass at a thrift store to mosaic onto with glass tiles. Then you can see through the glass tiles.

You can buy a glass cutting tool at a hardware store, a craft store, or at Amazon. Here is an affiliate link to a glass cutter. It will cost you nothing to click it but if you buy we will get a small reward.

A simple way to make fish hooks using wire, pliers, hammer and a torch. Fun little project that has taught me some very basic shaping and tempering lessons. This is a nice living history type project I was required to do for a blacksmithing class. I had to recreate an 18th century style forged hook. The 18th century ones were eyeless but I was required to add the eyelet. Enjoy the video and I hope to see you in the woods!
