Mosaics are a lot of fun to make, but they’re not the neatest DIY project you can work on, especially for kids. That being said, there are plenty of ways to make cleaning mosaic projects easier! This article covers three tips for throwing a mess-free mosaic party so you can focus on all that fun mosaics have to offer. Let’s go!

Aprons aren’t just a lifesaver for baking or painting; they are also perfect for making mosaics! With glue and grout in the mix, things can get really messy, so keeping your clothes clean will be necessary! Stay tidy in style with a personalized apron for all your attendees! Etsy has lots of cute and customizable options to choose from. You can also take matters into your own hands and get fabric aprons and fabric pastels from Blick Art Materials to write your guests’ names and make doodles on the aprons just for them! They are so easy to use because you draw your design then iron the designs to seal and protect them! |

Grouting a mosaic can be quite complicated, so having something to cover your work surface is essential to make cleaning a breeze. If you’re not keen on buying something specifically as a tablecloth, you can easily use things like cardboard or parchment paper. Let’s say you’re like me and like to add special touches to your party while still remaining practical. In that case, this flashy holographic tablecloth from Amazon comes in many colors and is a fun addition to any party! If you’re looking for something a little simpler but just as good, try this waterproof tablecloth which also comes in a variety of colors! |

When it comes to mosaics, paper towels and napkins can be very helpful for cleaning, but baby wipes are the holy grail for mosaic-specific use! Not only do they easily clean grout from hands and your table surface, but they are also great for cleaning grout from the mosaic tiles themselves during the grouting process, even when the grout is dry! Any baby wipe will do, but I like to use hypoallergenic wipes to stay safe if I’m unsure of my guests’ skin sensitivities! |
