The present invention discloses a method for preparing a full-body marble-patterned glass mosaic, comprising mixing a glass powder with an additive to obtain a mixture; adding water to the mixture and mixing thoroughly; granulating and sieving to obtain base clay body powder; mixing a colorant and a flux according to a specific ratio to obtain a colorant mixture in powder form; distributing the base clay body powder and the colorant mixture into multiple layers via a mold; press-molding to obtain a clay body; firing the clay body to obtain the full-body marble-patterned glass mosaic. Accordingly, the present invention provides a full-body marble-patterned glass mosaic prepared by the method described above. The glass mosaic of the present invention has a strong layering texture and a well-defined structure, and it faithfully resembles the pattern and texture of natural marble.

A example ribbon decoration device includes a base structure having a first end, a second end, and a body. At least one end fastener attaches the first end of the base structure to the second end of the base structure for positioning the base structure around a portion of the tree, pole, fixture, window, doorway, or other object. A plurality of decorative ribbons are configurable between a rolled configuration for storage and an unrolled configuration for decorating. Ribbon fasteners are configured to attach a corresponding one of the plurality of decorative ribbons to the body of the base structure. The base structure is positioned on a tree, pole, fixture, window, doorway, or other object with decorative ribbons in the rolled configuration on the base structure, and the decorative ribbons are changed to the unrolled configuration for decorating the tree, pole, fixture, window, doorway, arch, or other object.

A method for assembling at least a first element and a second element to form, once assembled, an external component for a portable device, including the steps of: a) making the first element; b) making the second element; c) arranging at least a first groove in the first element and at least a second groove in the second element; d) placing and holding the first and second element end-to-end with at least a third connecting element which is inserted and locked in the first and second grooves.

The present invention discloses a toy splicing method and a bead board, the method comprises the following steps: step 1, providing positioning columns on a bead board, orderly arranging a plurality of positioning columns on a motherboard in a vertical and a horizontal direction, and placing fuse beads on the positioning columns of the bead board to form a splicing pattern; step 2, pasting an ironing paper on the splicing pattern; step 3, preheating the heating device; step 4, placing the heating device on the ironing paper to iron the splicing pattern; step 5, heating and melting the surfaces of the fuse beads at high temperature of an iron until the surfaces are mutually adhered; and step 6, cooling the mutually adhered fuse beads, and separating the splicing pattern from the bead board. As compared with the prior art, the toy splicing method and the bead board of the present invention can exert a child's own imagination for free splicing, which can not only exercise the child's own hands-on ability, but also cultivate the child's spatial imagination ability and fine hands-on ability.

Flexible mosaic tiles and methods for manufacturing same are disclosed. A mold cavity of a mold element may have a cavity floor, a facing edge, perimeter wall surfaces extending therebetween, and a cavity volume. A layer of gel medium may be applied to the perimeter wall surfaces and allowed to dry. A volume of pouring medium is poured into the mold cavity. A volume of one or more fluid pigments is inserted into the mold cavity. The volume of pouring medium and the volume of fluid pigment are blended together. The blended volumes are allowed to set for a setting period. The blended volumes cure for a curing period in a curing environment, thereby forming a mosaic tile. The mosaic tile is removed from the mold cavity. A peel-and-stick backing may be applied to the rear of the mosaic tile for facilitating attachment of the mosaic tile to a substrate.

An apparatus and method to pick a magnetizable object from a group of magnetizable objects having substantially uniform and predetermined respective sizes, the apparatus including an elongated magnet having a major axis, and a rigid dielectric material having an aperture, the rigid dielectric material positioned relative to the elongated magnet in order to present an opening through the rigid dielectric material along a line collinear with the major axis. The rigid dielectric material is movable, relative to the elongated magnet, in a direction parallel to the major axis between a first position at which at least a portion of the elongated magnet is within the aperture, and a second position at which no part of the elongated magnet is within the aperture.
