Directions: 1.Wash and dry your Styrofoam plates.Then, paint them.(Chuck really enjoyed this step.You don't need to be neat, you just need to cover the plate with colors so that you have lots of tile making material.)Once your paint dries, cover the plates with a thin coat of Mod Podge to make them slightly shiny.
2.Create a frame by cutting out a rectangle out of cardboard that's slightly larger than your photo.Make an opening for the photo by cutting out a rectangle that's slightly smaller than your photo.Paint the frame.Once the paint dries, give your frame a coat of Mod Podge to also make it slightly shiny.
3.Cut out your mosaic tiles.Organize them by colors if you plan on making a certain design.
4.Place your tiles on your frame and play around with different ideas for designs.Once you're satisfied with how everything looks, use your tacky glue or liquid silicone and glue the tiles down.
5.Tape your photo to the back of your frame.Then, trace out a rectangle that's the same shape as your frame from a cereal box.Tape it over your photo to cover the back of the frame.Create a simple stand by bending a long rectangular piece of cereal box into a triangle shape.Tape it to the back of your frame.
