How can I make mosaics out of seeds, peas, and corn?

I love those!! http://www.firstpalette.com/Craft_themes/Food/Seed_Mosaic/Seed_Mosaic.html Keep us posted with yours!

I remember those! Oh, my. If you don't want to draw free-hand, you could copy a coloring book page, or a paint-by-number canvas

Yes, choose a sturdy,strong base to use as a canvas. You can find a really sturdy,trong piece of cardboard,spray paint it white and that will cost you nothing or you could even go to a craft store,get a strong structurally sound piece of canvas...that's already framed and wrapped with wood underneath. Also,going to the local hardware storefinding a piece of wood that is thinner and have it cut to the size/shape you want and spray painting it white can be a perfect canvas for your seed 3D artwork, as well. Regardless of your canvas choice.... you are ready to begin your masterpiece. I would just say to go ahead and use E6000 glue as an adhesive. It dries clear, is not too expensive and the most important thing... Each of your little seeds and/dried beans will not fall off...in a day,a week or even a year... unless someone deliberately tries to remove them,from your canvas. The last thing you want is to put in all that time and effort...creating a beautiful piece of artwork picture one seed or bean

at a time,and have pieces start to fall off. It really wouldn't hurt to give it a quick coat of sealing spray over the entire project when you are done. If you happen to have a store like Dollar General near by.. just to seal the deal... Pick up a spray can of their spray sealing product(inexpensive). Choose a matte or glossy finish... whichever you prefer. Please send a picture of your project, I'm very interested to see the final result. Good luck!

Make sure you have a pair of rubber tipped tweezers, will help a lot when gluing. And toothpicks or bbq skewers, I use them to move things around before the glue sets. Should be a fun project!

We did those types of projects as kids, my Uncle did some out of colored crushed rock. We did ours on a piece of plywood cut to size, glued [with 'Elmer's Glue"] a braided cord around each area that was going to be a separate color [used pins to hold the cord in place until it dried], then spread a thick layer of glue down & applied the rock/seeds to fill the spaces one at a time & pressed the rock/seeds down to make sure they were well glued. Once all the spaces were filled & all was dry, we sprayed the whole picture with a clear plastic sealant, then when dry, we put it in a frame to hang.
