39. What is a mosaic? A decorative design or picture made by setting small colored pieces of stone, glass, pottery, etc., in mortar Each individual piece is called a tessera. The spaces in between the tesserae for the grout are called interstices.

40. Candle Project 1.Acquire toilet tissue rolls or purchase similar rolls from Oriental Trading. 2.Have students cut out paper tesserae and glue on the rolls to make an attractive design. 3.Cover the completed tube with Mod Podge to give it a shine and to protect the design. Let dry for at least 15 minutes. 4.Using the template provided, cut a base out of card stock and hot glue the mosaic tube to it. 5. Fill with candy. Encourage students to bring in some bags of candy (individually wrapped).

41. 6.Again, using the template provided, cut a top cover for the candle out of white paper (normal weight paper). Fit it to the tube and put a ribbon around it and tie a bow. 7.With an exacto knife, slit a hole in the center of top cover for the candle flame. Use the flame template, and cut a yellow cardstock flame. Simply insert the flame. It should stand on its own. Do not slit the hole too large! 8.Around the base with a colorful pen, put an appropriate Latin phrase at the top with its English translation at the bottom of the base. Here are a few suggestions: Adeste Fideles: O Come All You Faithful Nox silens! Sancta nox!: Silent Night! Holy Night! Pax in Terra: Peace on Earth
