Ordering Pieces
There is no right way to get the pieces that you need for your mosaic, but I thought I would throw together some helpful tips to get you started:
- If you don’t have one of Lego’s mosaics already, I recommend buying one. They come with 9 16x16 plates, a frame and a ton of 1x1 tile pieces already. I would take a look at Lego’s options and pick the one that has the most pieces you need. Personally, I purchased The World Map as that gave me enough plates to build four 3x3 and one 2x2 mosaics, along with a large portion of colours to get me started.
- Lego has a pick a brick option online, but currently they only have 10 of the ~35 solid coloured 1x1 tiles. Your best bet for sourcing pieces is Bricklink.com. You can create a “Wanted List” of all the pieces you need, and Bricklink will find the cheapest group of stores that have all the pieces you need.
More FAQs, and some Advice
The "Submit URL" button is giving you trouble?
You need to give it a URL to an image only . A good way to get this is to right click on the image and then click "copy image address" or "copy image link". You can also just upload an image from your computer, if you like!
Which photos work best?
Photos with big, blocky colours. Fine details, such as text, often gets washed out.
