Our DIY kits
-
Only one !
Each kit includes the exact number of tiles needed to build your chosen model.
Of course, as we are nice (and above all predictable), we give you a few extra tiles in case of a problem (a tile that breaks or your dog runs away with one!). -
Today the kits are available in classic size (2.3 x 2.3 cm tiles) and in mini size (1.2 x 1.2 cm tiles) as indicated in the detailed product sheet.
-
The kits are not reusable , because once glued the tiles are inseparable. And if you force it, it will destroy the tiles and/or the mounting grid.
However, you can order additional kits to create new designs.
-
Tilipix kits are designed for all curious and creative people! Children can participate in the creation process accompanied by an adult, especially for handling the glue and small tiles safely.
The final mosaic cutting stage must be carried out by an adult only.
-
Our tiles are identical to those used by many mosaic artists. They are made from high-quality recycled glass sourced from other industries and naturally derived inorganic pigments.
Our partner produces its tiles using a completely clean and environmentally friendly production system with minimal water consumption. The result is a 100% recyclable and eco-friendly product with high added value.
-
Our glue comes from our French partner Cléopatre 🇫🇷 who have been producing their glue in France since 1930.
Its approach is certified "eco-friendly" since our partner maintains a strong environmental policy and notably holds EMAS ("EcoManagement and Audit Scheme") certification
And to top it all off, it smells lovely and has a beautiful white dress!
Assembly
-
The kits require no special DIY or art skills . Anyone can create their own mosaic with a little patience and attention to detail.
The instructions provided are easy to follow and detailed to guide you through every step of the process. -
It takes less than 2 15 minute sessions to build a mosaic using the kit. This may vary depending on the size and complexity of the mosaic but above all your comfort.
There are also two drying stages of 8 hours .
Placed end to end, you will therefore have to wait a full day to have your mosaic completed. -
A watchword: parsimony!
To avoid a too visible joint between the tiles, dose carefully. Place a small drop, about half the size of the tile, to secure it with the net.
For the second installation, add a drizzle of glue, adjusting according to the presence of glue already in place. Smooth the glue using cellophane film around your finger to spread it well and to facilitate drying.
Be careful, especially with small tiles. Keep the excess for a future mosaic or for possible touch-ups.
If your glue tube still contains product at the end of assembly, don't panic! Keep it for a future mosaic or as a precaution in case a tile comes loose, a very rare but possible situation.
-
As is the case for our Monster model, for the diagonally positioned tiles to stay in place on their own, you will either need to be lucky and have the tile remain attached to the rest of the mosaic by being positioned exactly on an "edge" of a line of the fiberglass mesh, or you will simply need to glue/fix the tile independently when installing the mosaic on your surface.
-
Don't worry, this is completely normal, mosaic is not an exact science!
Indeed, although the tiles generally follow a defined shape and size, each tile is unique, which explains that each line of your mosaic will never be perfectly aligned (unless you use plastic tiles 😜).
And then keep in mind that, once the mosaic is attached to the wall, its small imperfections will no longer be visible.
To minimize them, do not hesitate to slightly shift the tiles to align them with each other, and rotate them on their axes to adjust them.
It is best to carry out these operations when the glue begins to dry, in order to be more precise in your manipulations.
Finally, remember that it is precisely these “imperfections” that will give all the charm to your mosaic!
Fixation
-
To fix your mosaic to an indoor wall, you can use the adhesive strips we sell or use other commercially available systems (Patafix, double-sided tape, etc.).
For more information, see our guide " How to fix your mosaic? " -
To permanently fix a mosaic to an outdoor wall, you will simply need to use all-materials no-nail-no-screw fixing adhesive or cement adhesive available in any DIY store.
For more information, see our guide " How to fix your mosaic? "
-
You will only need to provide a cutter (a pair of scissors also works but is less recommended) during construction.
And then, depending on where you will attach your mosaic, you will need to provide the appropriate fixing method (see the following questions for more information).
Otherwise, apart from your hands and the contents of the kit, you won't need anything else! -
The kits were designed for installation within private properties with the owner's permission .
However, it is also true that these kits can be installed in public streets.
However, please note that some countries have specific laws regarding street art and you should be aware of local laws before you start installing mosaics in public spaces.
We will not be held responsible and we will not pay your jail bail (but we will still give you some tips on how to remove a mosaic).For more information, see our guide " Choosing the perfect location ".
Interview

To clean and maintain a mosaic after installing it, you can simply use a soft cloth (or sponge) and warm water to wipe the surface of the mosaic.
Avoid using abrasive chemicals or window cleaners, as they can damage the mosaic surface.
If there is a stubborn stain, you can use a little mild soap mixed with warm water to clean the area.
-
The kits contain high quality ceramic mosaic tiles, making them durable and weather resistant .
Mosaics can withstand rain, sun, and frost without fading or deteriorating, making them an ideal outdoor decor option.
For indoor use, unless your cat jumps on it and drops it, the mosaic will have an almost unlimited lifespan!
