Mosaic Project. Recycled old cooking pot.

I took an old cooking pot that could not be used any longer as it had worn off at the bottom. I bought some old plates at a car boot sale and did mosaic art. There a lot of options available to decorate such as outdoor furniture, chairs, old garden planters which I will share soon, this is a great activity for weekends and especially with social distancing where you can involve the kids too.
