how to making evil eye mosaic art

Creating an evil eye mosaic art piece with mirrors on MDF.
1. *Materials Needed:*
- MDF board (cut to your desired size)
- Mirrors (small and/or large, depending on your design)
- Glass tiles or mosaic tiles in various colors (blue, white, black for the evil eye theme)
- Tile adhesive or mosaic glue
- Grout (in a color of your choice)
- Tile nippers (for cutting tiles if needed)
- Safety goggles and gloves
- Marker or pencil (for sketching the design)
- Sponge and cloth (for cleaning)
2. *Design Planning:*
- Sketch out your evil eye design on paper first to visualize how you want the mirrors and tiles arranged on the MDF board.
- Decide on the placement of mirrors (often at the center for the eye) and the colors of tiles around them.
3. *Prepare the MDF Board:*
- Ensure the MDF board is clean and smooth. Sand any rough edges or surfaces.
- Optionally, you can prime or paint the MDF board if you want a specific background color that complements your mosaic design.
4. *Cutting Tiles (if necessary):*
- Use tile nippers to cut tiles to fit your design. Pay attention to safety when using tile nippers.
5. *Assembling the Mosaic:*
- Start by applying a layer of tile adhesive or mosaic glue to a small section of the MDF board.
- Begin placing tiles and mirrors according to your design. Press them firmly into the adhesive.
6. *Grouting:*
- Once the adhesive has dried completely (following the manufacturer's instructions), prepare the grout according to the package instructions.
- Apply the grout over the entire mosaic surface, ensuring it fills the gaps between the tiles and mirrors.
- Use a damp sponge to wipe off excess grout from the tiles. Rinse the sponge frequently to keep it clean.
7. *Finishing:*
- After the grout has cured (typically after 24 hours), polish the mirrors and tiles with a soft cloth to remove any haze left by the grout.
- Clean the surface thoroughly to reveal the mosaic design.
8. *Mounting or Framing (optional):*
- Depending on your preference, you can mount the finished mosaic art on a wall or frame it for display.
Creating a mosaic art piece with mirrors and tiles can be a rewarding project. It combines creativity with craftsmanship, resulting in a unique and eye-catching piece of art!
