Our Top Tips To Have A Mess-Free Mosaic Party

2/15/2024

Mosaics are so much fun to make, but they aren't the tidiest DIY project you can work on, especially for kids. That being said, there are many ways to make cleaning up for mosaic projects easy! This post covers three tips for having a mess-free mosaic party so you can focus on all of the fun mosaics have to offer. Let's get into it!

Aprons aren't just a life-saver for baking or painting; they're great for mosaic making, too! With glue and grout in the mix, things can get really messy, so keeping your clothes clean will be necessary!

Stay tidy in style with a personalized apron for all of your participants! Etsy has loads of cute, customizable options to choose from. You could also take matters into your own hands and get some cloth aprons and fabric pastels from Blick Art Materials to write your guests' names and make some doodles on the aprons just for them! These are so easy to use because you draw out your design then iron the drawings to seal and protect them!

Grouting a mosaic can get quite messy, so having something to cover your work surface is a must to make clean-up seamless. If you're not too keen on buying something specifically as a table cover, you can easily use things like cardboard or parchment paper.

Suppose you're like me and love adding special touches to your party while staying practical. In that case, this flashy holographic tablecloth from Amazon comes in many colors and is a fun addition to any party! If you're in the market for something a little simpler but just as good, try this waterproof tablecloth that also comes in a variety of colors!

​When it comes to mosaics, paper towels and napkins can be very helpful for clean-up, but baby wipes are the holy grail for mosaic-specific use! 

Not only do they easily clean grout off of hands and your table surface, but they're also just right for cleaning grout off the mosaic tiles themselves during the grouting process, even when the grout is dry! Any baby wipes will do, but I do like to go with hypoallergenic ones to stay safe if I'm not sure about any skin sensitivities of my guests!

NOW THAT YOU KNOW HOW TO KEEP THINGS TIDY...
