HOW TO TURN A STARBUCKS FRAPPUCCINO BOTTLE INTO A MOSAIC VASE | Prep, Tiling, + Grouting

In today’s video I’ll show you how to upcycle a Starbucks Frappuccino bottle into a mosaic vase. I’m making a glass on glass vase, but just about any mosaic tesserae will work. We’ll talk about how to prep the substrate, acceptable adhesives, tiling, grouting, and finishing off. As always, LOTS of tips and tricks throughout.
