Flame Thinny-Penny U-Mix 5-Color 12mm Penny Round Assortment is a bundle of 5 flame-theme 12mm penny tile colors (1/2-lb each) that you mix yourself to create a 2.5-lb assortment. Each 1/2-pound bag contains about 230+ pieces and covers about 1/3 of a square foot with a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch. That means the 2.5-lb assortment should contain about 1150+ pieces and cover about 1.66 square feet.
The numbers in the U-Mix assortment name indicate each color in the bundle. This assortment includes: 44-indian yellow, 45-yellow orange, 47-fiery orange, 48-red orange, and 99-butter.
MORJO™ Thinny-Pennies™ Penny Round Recycled Glass Tiles have a glossy finish, and solid opaque color throughout (not just on the tops or bottoms). Unlike glass gems, another common round tile, Thinny-Pennies™ have a flat and even surface rather than puffed. This makes them much easier to use with other types of glass tile and easier to grout.

Compatibility
Like most of the glass tile we sell, flat penny rounds have a nominal industry-standard thickness of 1/8 inch (4mm). You can use these with other brands of recycled glass and even vitreous glass tile.
Cutting Recycled Glass Thinny-Pennies™
Recycled glass cuts like butter using the Mosaic Glass Cutters without creating a lot slivers or cutting waste.
Grouting Round Tile
Note that dry indoor mosaics do not require grouting, and so for those you can simply mount the tiles tightly together. On the other hand, wet and outdoor mosaics must have grout to prevent water from penetrating behind the tiles. For those, leaving a 1/16-inch gap allows enough grout to adhere between the tiles.
Making Mosaic Art with Penny U-Mixes
U-Mix assortments give artists the unique option to customize their color blend. Use penny tiles to create dotted patterns, curves, flower shapes, and round details. Arrange whole pennies or circular segments into swirls, waves and spirals.
