Enlarge it to whatever size you want to make. Then print it at kinkos full size. Buy some carbon paper at the wood crafter supply store. Trace the paper onto the plywood using carbon paper. Tile colors are whatever you like. I used 3/4 inch vitrous "kaleidescope" colors. I bought mine at Mosaic Art Supply. Buy some tile nippers. Use weldbond glue as the website says. Use plenty of glue then have at it. Think hard about how you start because you must carry it through all the way across. The random water triangle pattern was the hardest part. Regards
