DIY: Mosaic Bathtub

While all of us have likely dreamed about a romantic clawfoot bathtub at some point in our lives (I know I sure have), how about one that's a little more on the irreverent side?

While all of us have likely dreamed about a romantic clawfoot bathtub at some point in our lives (I know I sure have), how about one that's a little more on the irreverent side? By using mosaic tiles, you can create a custom-look tub without paying for the professionals.   Want to try this fun look at home? Try these tips from Glass Tiles founder and designer Eli Mechlovitz:

  • Choose a beautiful mosaic glass tile that fits your space.
  • Sand down the glaze from the original tub.
  • Glue the tiles to the rough unglazed tub surface.
  • Grout the tiles.
