  • Scissors
  • Colorful Sheets of Paper
  • Glue stick
  • Pencil
  • Optional: Strips of star folding paper

How to make your Mosaic Love Letters

Step 1:

Use a pencil to write the word “love” on a colorful sheet of paper.

(Note:  I tried printing the word “love” and writing it in script.  The finished mosaic looked a lot nicer when I used the printed letters.  If you choose to write in script, be sure to spread the letters out a lot.  Otherwise it’s hard to distinguish the letters once you glue on the pieces.)

Step 2:

Cut out lots of small, colorful squares.

(Note:  I cut strips of star folding paper to quickly create square pieces.)

Step 3:

Wipe a bit of glue along one portion of a letter.  Then, glue on the square pieces.  Keep repeating this process until the entire word is covered with colorful squares.  Once you’re finished, add a border using long strips of paper.
