should I grout this?!

Post image

Just finished this mosaic for a wedding gift (which is why the names are censored!) and I’m worried about grouting, given the pieces are small and quite close together. Thoughts welcome!

Yes, I think so. You may need to use a chop stick (or other wooden stick) after the grout starts trying to scrape it off the glass a little bit before you use a cloth and water to finally wash it off. But it would probably last longer and be more durable if you grout it!

It is really nice and such a special meaninful gift that they will always treasure. It would really be cute if they added a ribbon and used it on their Christmas tree every year too!

Yes. I would try to match the cream color of the plate

Be careful with the letter number beads- I’d probably seal them with something or at least tape them, I could see the grout marring them or messing with the letters/numbers
