Are the Elves Peeking from the Window?
Mosaic elves are easy to make on different sized styrofoam cones. Cover the cones with, for example, soft glass mosaics and add a bead for the nose and a pom-pom for the hat. For gluing onto styrofoam bases, we recommend Silicone, Olba, or CollKit glue, which prevents the pieces from sliding.
The Christmas Tree is Decorated...
Mosaic trees follow the same idea as mosaic elves; they are easy to make on styrofoam cones. Will you choose shimmering glitter soft glass mosaics or something else? There are many stars available for the top of the tree. We also recommend using Silicone, Olba, or CollKit glue for making the trees.
Create Unique Christmas Cards
Who wouldn’t love to receive a handmade Christmas card? With the same model, you can easily make gift tags for presents too! Choose 5x5 mm micro mosaics and the smallest millefiori for the cards. The cards in the picture are glued with Mosaic Glue.
The Most Beautiful Christmas Balls
Choose different sizes of styrofoam balls and cover them with Lilliput beads, Ottoman glass mosaics, and 1x1 cm iridescent glass mosaics. Use Silicone, Olba, or Collkit glue to prevent the mosaic pieces from sliding off the sloped surface. Grout the balls in matching colors; there are many colors in grouts. You can also tint the grout with color pigments.
Lanterns for a Festive Atmosphere
Cover glass lanterns with various translucent mosaics and light the candles! Renew old lanterns and glass jars for a new life. Fill a finished mosaic lantern with candies, wrap it in cellophane, and a wonderful gift for a friend is ready! See also "Autumn Mosaic Ideas" for suitable links to make mosaic lanterns.
Light Balls for the Festive Table
Create beautiful table decorations by covering plastic balls with 1x1 cm acrylic mosaics, available in many colors, including glitter acrylic. We recommend using Silicone or CollKit glue for gluing. You can also place a LED light string inside a perforated plastic ball.
