DIY Video Game Character Mosaic: Bubble Bobble (w/pics)

Step 2 Material - 350+ tiles for less than $17

Recently, I found the tiles in a big art store, with a very cool price of 2¬ for 100g wich means approximatively 36 pieces for 2¬ ($1.7). The choice was pretty large, with almost 5 possible variants per color. i chose a light gray for the background and took the exact quantities I needed, plus 10 tiles by color : the tiles are made of glass, and are very very fragile until they are all sticked together. You have to take many many precaution, such as not throwing them in the plastic bg when you are selecting them in the shop. manipulate with extreme care or you will break a bit of most of them.
I also discovered a great mosaic shop for professionnals and people. The prices were just a bit higher, but I could find there advices on how to fix my mosaic : I bought a plastic net to fix the tiles on and a tube of Neopren glue, which I recommand, especially if you want to put your mosaic in a bathroom or anywhere outdoor.
I also bought this special paper you use while baking, when you don't want your cake to attach! It prevents the glue to attach on the table where you wil fix the mosaic.

But let's forget the net, the glue and the paper and play with the tiles...
