contents smartly with hammer. Do not hammer repeatedly or you

risk disintegrating mosaic pieces. Check inside of towel

periodically and remove pieces of desired size; wear work

gloves at all times when handling broken items. Be sure to

remove all shards from towel or discard towel entirely to

prevent accidental cuts.

2. Use tile adhesive to secure mosaic pieces to foam balls in

pleasing designs. Use tile knippers to cut some pieces to size as needed.

3. Follow manufacturer's directions to mix spackling "grout"

in disposable container until smooth and spreadable.

4. Use spatula to apply grout to surface of ball; be sure to

push grout into spaces between mosaic pieces. Smooth grout as

much as possible as you work. Let set a few minutes, then

gently smooth using damp sponge. Rinse sponge often in fresh water.

5. Let grout set up slightly, then wipe face of mosaic pieces

again with damp sponge. Let dry completely. Use clean, soft

rag to polish mosaic pieces.
