How I Grouted a Mosaic on Mesh (And Prepped It for Travel)

I recently grouted a flower mosaic made of plates, bowls, and cups—and like most of my mosaic builds, this one took a few extra steps!

In this video, I’m walking you through how I grouted a mosaic on mesh, cleaned it up, removed the extra mesh, and got it ready to travel. This isn’t its final installation—it’s currently on a temporary base (what I call a “sub-substrate”)—but I’m taking it with me so I can mosaic on the go!

You’ll see:
✔️ How I apply and clean off grout on a mesh mosaic
✔️ How I safely remove the mosaic from the temporary base
✔️ How I trim the mesh and tidy things up
✔️ How I pack a grouted mosaic on mesh for travel

If you’ve ever wondered how to finish and move a mesh-mounted mosaic safely, this video is for you!
