   Ceramic tiles are a good choice, and they are available at hardware and home improvement stores.
   
   Do not choose too many bright colors for your mosaic surface.
   
   A surface made mostly of shades of neutrals and 1 or 2 bright colors will match your décor without looking too busy.
   
   You may choose tiles in the same size or of varying sizes.
   
   Consider choosing a different colored tile for the perimeter. ,, Arrange the design that you would like to use, accounting for the dimensions of your bathroom sink.
   
   If you are working with large tiles you can place them in a thick plastic bag and hit them with a hammer to break them into smaller pieces.
   
   This will give you a more hap-hazard, uneven look than if you use small square tiles.
   
   Use a ceramic cutter to clip your tiles into specific shapes.
   
   For example, you may want to clip your square tiles diagonally to fit them around a curved wash basin. , Use a heavy duty cleanser.
   
   Allow it to dry.
