Choose your base and decide what your pattern or color scheme will be.
2. Plain, Resin, or Grout?
Decide how you would like to finish your piece, do you want it to be grouted or resined, or would you like to leave the tiles as they are? This will determine what parts of the base are painted before applying the tiles.
3. Design and Create
Going for a specific image or shape? You can pre-draw it, and our staff is happy to help. Then you can cut (if necessary), arrange and glue the tiles onto the base in the pattern you chose.
4. Finishing Touches
After all the tiles are glued on, it is time for the finishing touches. You can leave it with us to resin or grout for an additional $5. If you would like to grout it yourself, it's free and you can take it home the same day.

Mosaic prices are determined by the base that you choose. These prices include the base, paint, glue, tiles, take home grout and use of all the tools needed to finish your project. The bases currently range in cost from $16 - $24.
You can take home your grout and finish the mosaic at home after the tile adhesive has dried, or you can choose to leave the mosaic with us to be grouted or for resin. There is an additional $5 fee for us to finish the piece.
Other Things You Should Know:
- Mosaics are fun, non-toxic, appeal to boys and girls and can be as simple or as complicated as you would like to make them.

Candles
1. Select Your Mold
what size and shape do you want your candle to be? We have candles that burn from 12 - 60 hour!
2. Fill Your Mold
Use our pre-made colored wax chunks to fill your chosen mold. Then chose your scent. We have over 30 to choose from, including seasonal, warm and homey, floral and fruity too.
3. Bind It All Together
When you are finished with your color design, we pour hot wax mixed with the essential oils to get your scent over the color chunks to bind them all together with the scent throughout the whole candle. After pouring, we let it cool in a water bath to solidify.
4. Unmold, Add a Wick, and Enjoy
After the candle has set up in the mold, you can unmold the candle and add a wick. Your candle is now ready to grace your space.
Candles Pricing:
Candles start at $14 for our 12-14 ounce pillar molds, $20 for our 24-26 ounce pillar molds, $24 for the 36 ounce pillar and $40 for our 5 pound, 3-wick candle. The price includes everything needed to create a stand-alone candle. Occasionally we have different containers and options available.
Other Things You Should Know:
- Candles can be pretty quick, or you can take a lot of time to carefully arrange the colors that will be seen on the outside of the candle. We suggest planning a half hour to 1.5 hours depending on your level of care.
- The time it takes for the wax to set-up in the mold varies depending on the size of the candle and quantity of wax. Our smallest candles only need 10 - 15 minutes before they are ready to be unmolded. The largest candle could take up to 40 minutes.
- Our pillar molds should burn approximately 1 hour for every ounce of wax.
- Candles should always have the wick trimmed to around 1/4 of an inch and should not be left unattended or near a curtain.
