Allright, now respect these steps.
1 - place the paper on the table. Don't save it, you'll be able to reuse the leaves.
2 - place the net on the paper
3 - put a bit of glue on a tile (stripped side) and place it on the net, the glue on the net's side.
4 - now for the next tiles, put a bit of glue direclty on the net and gantly place the tiles on the glue drops.
...and repeat 4 until the mosaic is finished ! It will need 12 hours+ to dry completely. After that, the tiles are very very well fixed on the net. You can still remove them to correct a mistake, but it not always that easy.
Also think to work in a big enough space with opened windows.. after 324 tiles, I was quite dizzy with the Neopren vapors, I was giggling silliy :)

Gently place your tiles on the net, helping you with a ruler and the net grid to let litle regular spaces between each tile: it's very important that the glue or cement fill this space when placed on a wall, or the mosaic won't be that much solid and resistant.

Now let's see the final result!
