What is a brick mosaic?
A brick mosaic is a type of artwork created by arranging small plastic bricks (like Brick Pet bricks, LEGO bricks, Mega Blocks, or other brands) into a baseplate grid to form a larger image or design. Each brick represents a pixel in the image, and the color and placement of the bricks work together to recreate the overall picture. The result is a mosaic that can be small and simple or large and detailed, depending on the number of bricks and colors used.
What sizes are available and is there a maximum size?
Our baseplates come in one size: 24x24 studs (7.5 x 7.5 inches). You can combine these baseplates to create brick mosaics of a wide range of sizes. For example, 3 by 4 baseplates (12 baseplates total) will give you a size of 30.2 by 22.7 inches.
Regarding a limit, you can go big... very big! The "advanced" Creator App (available when you access our app using a computer) has a limit of 20x20 baseplates, which is almost 13 x 13 feet! Want to go bigger? No worries. Just contact us and we will provide a custom quote.
Do I get to build the mosaic myself or can you build it for me?
Yes, you get to build it yourself! Our simple instructions are like paint-by-numbers, only with bricks. Just place the transparent baseplate over the colored numbers grid, and start building your picture. It's super easy and great fun to do either by yourself or with friends and family!
While we do offer a pre-assembly option, it's currently reserved for commercial customers and will incur an additional cost. We can make exceptions on a case by case basis, so please contact us for more information.
How many bricks are in each baseplate, and how long does it take to build one?
Our baseplate has 24x24 studs, so it fits 576 bricks. On average, it should take around 45 minutes per baseplate.
A brick mosaic typically consists of multiple baseplates. For example, a 3x3 mosaic is made up of 9 baseplates. The total build time for a mosaic of this size is approximately 6-7 hours.
But don't worry, you don't have to complete it all in one sitting! Each kit includes cardboard containers to help you neatly store any opened bricks, so you can pause and pick up where you left off without losing track of anything.
How to connect the baseplates together?
The baseplates do not directly connect to each other. The best way to put the mosaic together is to mount it on a wall. See the question below for more information.
How do I hang my brick art mosaic on a wall?
We recommend two options for putting your beautiful creations up for display.
Frame it. You can get a frame from us that will fit your brick art mosaic perfectly, or get a custom frame from a frame shop. Watch our video to learn how to frame your brick art mosaic!
Attach the baseplates directly to the wall using our special Nano Mounting Strips. The strips use a special no-glue technology and can be removed without leaving any residue and without damaging the wall.
