Pot Stickers

I buy my orchids at Trader Joe's.  They come in terra cotta pots which are too small to reuse for growing bulbs so I've collected a slew of them.

Over the weekend we brought in the pots, rummaged through the glass and ceramic tiles and went to work.

1. Purchase ready-made tile adhesive in a tube.
2. Create your mosaic design by spreading a dot or layer of adhesive on the back of each tile piece and one-by-one affixing the piece to the flower pot.  Press the piece of tile firmly against the flower pot and hold for a couple seconds.  Leave ¼ inch space between pieces of tile to make room for the grout.  After you've adhered all your tile pieces allow the pot to dry 4-6 hours.  
3. Make the grout once the mortar is completely set. You’ll need your work gloves for this project as you’ll be placing the grout on your pot with your hands.  Combine water to the grout to create a mixture of peanut butter consistency. You’ll want the general same type of consistency you achieved with the mortar. Scoop a handful of grout and slather it all over the pot. Be sure you take care to fill in every section between the tiles. Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe excess grout from the pot, taking extra care to remove grout that was smoothed over tile/stones.

The same process works on table tops, too.

I'm only speculating here, but I think there's more sticking-of-tiles -to-things in our future.
