Tile by Tile: Make Your Own House Number
Turn a plain house number or a bare mirror frame into something nobody else on your street has. In this hands-on mosaic workshop, you’ll learn the mosaic-on-mesh technique from start to finish, and you’ll leave with a finished, functional piece for your own home, made entirely by your own hands.
What You’ll Make
Create a mosaic house number and build it up piece by piece on a mesh backing, the same technique used for durable, weatherproof mosaic work. Because every piece is placed by hand, no two finished pieces ever turn out quite the same, so what you make is genuinely one of a kind.

What the Workshop Covers
- An introduction to the mosaic-on-mesh technique and why it’s used for house numbers
- How to plan your design and lay out your tiles before you commit
- Cutting and placing tiles onto the mesh backing
- How to apply the number to your wall at home and the supplies needed to do that
