Are you looking for a unique and lovely high-end custom look for a bathroom backsplash at a reasonable price? With an open mind, you can have a new look in minutes. By using a clear sticky mounting sheet specially made for mosaics, you can turn lots of unusual things into mosaic tile: glass globs, pebbles, seashells, horn buttons, seaglass, pennies, and even galvanized steel hardware. It’s not hard and it’s a great way to get a new look in minutes!

If you’re setting tile for the first time, familiarize yourself with the tools, materials, and techniques. Check out how-to instructions at TheTileDoctor.com.

For a funky border with a fun, industrial edge, use galvanized steel washers or flanges. Visit your local hardware store’s fasteners department for an array of interesting finds. The galvanized finish on most hardware makes it perfect for a humid location. Spice it up by using tiny glass marbles, or stay with the industrial, hardware theme by using nuts or tiny brass washers.
