Mosaic Stained Glass Portrait

8. Trim the edges of the adhesive film with a craft knife.

9. Grab the edges and gently flip the piece over.

10. Peel away the less sticky adhesive film, leaving the glass adhered, face down, to the stickier film (figure H).

11. Cut a piece of cement board the same size as the photograph.

12. Mix the epoxy adhesive and trowel it onto the cement board (figure I).

13. Carefully pick up the film and the glass and place it on the cement board (figure J).

14. When it is in place, place heavy books on top to weigh it down.

15. Let the mosaic glass portrait dry overnight.

16. Slowly peel away the clear face mounting film from the glass (figure K).

17. Occasionally, the odd piece of glass will not have stuck and comes up with the sticky film--reattach with instant glue.

18. Spread pre-mixed grout over the tiles with a flat trowel getting it into the cracks (figure L). With a damp sponge, wipe down the tiles to remove the excess grout.

19. Frame the mosaic stained glass portrait in a picture frame.
