This mosaic mushroom is the very first template I ever designed, cut, and filled, born out of a kids’ art camp at one of my three studios. What started as an experiment with my new xTool quickly became a project that showed me the power of creating my own files, not only for myself but for my community. Now refined, this design represents the spark that empowered me to bring fun, inspiring projects to both kids and adults, going beyond cutting and engraving into creativity that connects people
Step 1: Cut & Assemble the Template
Step 2: Optional Painting
Step 3: Fill with Resin
Step 4: Finishing Touches
Alternative Options
Grout Method: Instead of resin, glue glass pieces directly to the template and fill in the spaces with grout once dry.
Scrap Tile Method: Skip glass altogether—use small colored scrap pieces from other laser projects as your “tiles” with resin.
✨ Kid-Friendly Tip: Skip the resin and simply glue pieces in place with or without grout.
✨ Creative Twist: Experiment with different resin colors for magical mushroom vibes!
