The Stormy Dark Mosaic Tile Mini Mix is a 1-lb mix of purple, deep blue, brown, and gray 3/8-inch vitreous glass tile. This curated assortment covers a spectrum of dark and moody tones.
For another dark and rich cool-toned tile mix, check out our iridescent Dragonfly assortment.
Each 1-pound bag will cover approximately .90 square feet assuming a standard grout gap of approximately 1/32 inch. Most Mosaic Mounting Paper is 1.15 square feet and requires 841 tiles (29 tiles x 29 tiles). Use our tile estimator to calculate how much you need for your project.
Tile thickness is 1/8 inch nominal, the same as most of the glass mosaic tile we sell, which means that these can mix and match with other types and brands.
We recommend the Mosaic Glass Cutter for cutting all types of glass mosaic tile including these. Note, however, that there is a limit to how small they can be cut. Due to their tapered edges, small pieces will tend to tip over. We advise cutting halves, quarters, and diagonal triangles, and not much smaller than that. For creating outlines and other details, check out our Rectangle Border Tiles or our Outliners Mosaic Sticks™.
Weldbond adhesive works well for mounting dry indoor mosaics. However, for outdoor and wet mosaics, use thinset mortar.
The affordability, ease of use and durability of these tiles makes them suitable for children’s crafts projects and outdoor home décor. The pigment quality lends itself equally well to photorealistic mosaic images and fine art. The advantage of this material is that you can use tiles from different manufacturers if you find you need additional colors.

ANTIQUE NEUTRALS Iridescent Assortment is a limited mix of black, white, gray, brown, and cream Morjo™ Recycled Iridescent 12mm Glass Mosaic Tile. This 1-lb assortment will include about 320+ loose tiles in simple universal neutrals for mosaic details, outdoor decor, backsplash designs, and ornaments.
These wonderful tiles cut cleanly into tiny pieces with minimal waste and have an iridescent finish with solid opaque color throughout. Durable and UV-resistant, they make fantastic material for commercial building exteriors and other architectural applications. This recycled tile product is manufactured by fusing powdered recycled glass in a process known as “warm glass,” “enamel glass,” or “pate de verre.”
One pound (~320 tiles) covers 91 square inches or 0.6 square feet assuming a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch. You need about 508 tiles (1.6 pounds) to cover one square foot assuming a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch. You need about 645 tiles (2 pounds) for a square foot assuming no grout gap. Use our tile estimator to calculate how much you need for your grouted project. Use a mounting grid to plan and design.
With a NOMINAL industry-standard thickness of 1/8 inch (4mm), 12mm Morjo™ glass tile combines well with most mosaic tile.
Morjo™ Recycled Glass Mosaic Tile cuts easily with clean edges using a pair of Mosaic Glass Cutters.
Create decorative iridescent accents and borders, or make outdoor decor, backsplash designs, and gifts with the simple universal neutral palette of Antique Neutrals. The size and quality of 12mm Morjo™ glass tile renders small detailed images and large scale works with equal versatility.
In A Mood is a pastel glass tile assortment with grays, tans, blues, teals, greens, and some pinks. This mix includes a combination of Morjo™ Vitreous and low-grain Lojee-Nojee™ tile, which adds textural variety and makes it a great way to sample both brands.

These tiles are hard and durable enough for outdoor installation, yet they can quickly be cut into halves, quarters and triangles with little force using a pair of mosaic glass cutters. The grooved side bonds adhesive more securely and also makes for easier cutting. To plan your design, use a mounting grid.
Each pound covers 0.69 square feet assuming a standard grout spacing of 1/16 inch. Coverage for 1 square foot requires 218 tiles. Note that cutting tiles generates some scrap, so you may want to budget 5% extra.
Because the 3/4 inch size (20mm) and 1/8 inch nominal thickness (4mm) is industry standard, you can combine these tiles with a wide variety of brands.

Our Mosaic Coaster Base – Square Bamboo has a square base that is ~3.93 inches (100 millimeters) wide and ~0.39 inches (10 millimeters) thick. The bamboo material of this square coaster provides it with both durability and a unique finish. The built in coaster bumpers underneath provide a tactile grip that reduces sliding. Unlike our other Mosaic Coaster Base varieties our Mosaic Coaster Base – Square Bamboo has rounded corners for a softer appearance.
Note that the wood is not recessed to form a border for your mosaic. Instead, your mosaic should extend to the edge of the coaster so that the finished coaster looks like a fragment of an ancient mosaic. This is easiest to do when you use tile without a heavy embossed pattern on the underside, and for this reason, we recommend the 8mm Morjo Recycled Glass Mosaic Tile for use with the coasters.
Weldbond adhesive or another high quality PVA glue is recommended for attaching tiles to the coaster base, and there are several options for grouting your mosaic coaster. You can press the tiles closely together instead of leaving a gap, but that requires much more time and effort than leaving an irregular gap and then grouting the mosaic. With an irregular grout gap of 1/16 inch or less, you can use almost every piece of tile you cut because it does not have to be exact. You can also use regular sanded grout to grout it.
Any type of glass mosaic tile could be used with these, but there is no border on the coaster, so your mosaic will go all the way to the edge. If you use a type of glass tile that has coarse embossing or bevels on the underside, then these might look odd at the edge of the mosaic. It is also more difficult to cut a tile into small pieces if the bottom has an embossed pattern. For these reasons, the coasters are best covered with stained glass or the 8mm and 12mm sizes of recycled glass mosaic tile by Morjo. We prefer Morjo to stained glass because stained glass tends to form sharper edges when cut. Whatever tile you decide to use, make sure you file off any sharp edges at the sides of the mosaic using a rough stone or marble file.
The coaster bases can be used any way you want, including simple projects for children with tiles glued randomly with variable grout spacing, and these make great first-time projects because they are small and do not require as much time and material. However, it is possible to create a more sophisticated mosaic design on the coaster using these instructions. Due to the limited space provided by the coaster, one of the most important steps is making sure you can cut tile small enough to render the smallest detail of your design and modifying your design if necessary:
The top surface of a ~3.93 inch square coaster base has only ~15.44 square inches (~0.11 square feet) in area. This means you could cover it with ~56 to ~72 pieces of the 12mm Morjo or ~112 to ~161 pieces of the 8mm Morjo depending on how you cut and space the tile. In either case, you might want to order more than that to account for the cutting waste, possibly twice as much if you are fitting the tile exactly with no grout gap.
