1 small container of premixed tile grout
Grout float or cardboard; sponge; rag
Fine-point permanent marker
Tracing paper
Trace heart, printed over text, on folded tracing paper, placing fold on dashed line. Cut out heart. Trace outline on center of tile with marker.
Glue a border of mosaic tiles evenly spaced along front edges of the large tile, using 10 whites on each side and a rose tile in each corner.
Glue rose tiles along heart outline, then inside following contours.
Glue off-white tiles in remaining spaces around heart. Let dry.
