Mosaic Coasters

18/06/15

This week we did the craft that we were supposed to do last week, mosaic coasters.

Each girl had been given the choice of blue or pink and then Brown Owl had attempted to order the right numbers of each (however they didn't have enough in stock for last week). We then gave the girls the one they had asked for, but told them they could swap with someone if they both wanted to. Each kit came with the board to put the tiles on, which had a piece of paper to peel off and reveal the sticky side. However, several of the girls managed to peel off the sticky and the backing too so we ended up going round and fixing a lot of them!

Finally, they settled down and started making them. Each pack comes with a suggested pattern to follow, and a few girls followed that, while others made up their own designs. We spent the whole meeting doing these because the girls didn't want to stop! For those who still hadn't finished when the meeting ended, we put the spare tiles back in the bag and covered over the remaining sticky so they could finish it off at home.

This was a nice quiet meeting, and I ended up sat at a table with a handful of girls, just talking to them which was nice.
