Besides Flower Pot Or Tea Tray, What Craft Idea For Broken Dishes?

I have some broken dishes (from new dish purchase, but Mfg. will send replacements) - and I’d like to try out the craft of doing a mosaic kind of thing; something for the kitchen. I guess I could go with a tray, but what else? I don’t have flower pots in my kitchen, ’cause the cats will eat the plants!

You could do trivets, spoon holders, small stuff like that!~
I did a mosaic for a table top. I’m starting a bathroom counter mosaic now.
You could purchase a clay saucer and on the back
make a mosaic clock for your kitchen.
figure out what you’d like to sculpt and break them again to fit together to make whatever you like, a flower, a non water holding vase etc. I think a vase could really look neat made from broken dishes. Or a tissue box holder.
I received a bunch of dishes from an aging relative, which broke in shipping. Since I couldn’t bear to throw them out, they were turned into stepping stones for my garden, using an ice cream bucket as a mold. I’m including a link with the photograph to show you how nice they can look
The shards can also be used to create a sculpture of sorts ~ vases and lamp bases are also pretty typical applications.
I’ve had friends make mobiles using dish shards (using jewelry clasps as the connection pieces) which looks fabulous. Shards can be run through a hobbyist rock tumbler and then used to make jewelry.
I have seen a wall mural done entirly of broken dishes and flatware. Also a wide frame around a mirror was very pretty.
You could do a backsplash boarder around the kitchen
