You will need:
* Pencil and paper
* Items to decorate
* Tiles
* Nippers/ light hammer and strong, clear plastic bag
* PVA glue and brush
* Grout
* Sponge
* Cloth
* Safety garments as applicable
You may choose to use small square craft tiles, made specifically for the purpose (usually from vitreous glass) and bought by the bag or tub. You cut them using a tool known as 'nippers'. This tool is used with a motion similar to the one made when cutting with scissors, and tiles can be nipped into halves and quarters - ideal for a geometric designs (see below), and eventually with practice, even into curves.
