After the glue is dry, mix some plaster of Paris and pour it into the cracks between the pieces. You can push and mold the plaster of Paris into the holes and cracks. Let it dry for a day. Then cut off the extra paper.
Tile mosaics can be used for hot plates, tray decorations, or pictures for the wall.
If you have enough tile pieces, you can decorate a whole table top with them.
When you have arranged the pieces the way you want them, glue each one to the paper. The easiest way is to glue only a part of the picture at a time. Cover a part with glue and stick the tile pieces clown. You can move the pieces around in the wet glue to gel them in the right place.
Put several tiles in a plastic bag. Hammer the bag to break the tiles into pieces.
Draw a picture on heavy paper. Arrange the broken lile pieces on your drawing so that they make the same picture. Use tiles of different colors for different parts of your picture.

Pictures made of pieces of colored stone, glass, or tile are called “mosaics.” You can make one with broken tiles. Ask the salesman at a floor-covering store for any unwanted floor tiles of the kind that will break. He will probably give you some.
