Step 2

Step 4
Spread a layer of thinset over a small area of your concrete paver with a putty knife. The thinset should be about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
Step 5
Place the mosaic tiles on the concrete paver, one at a time. Leave a gap of an 1/8 of an inch or less between the tiles.
Step 6
Allow the mosaic tiles and thinset to cure for 24 hours.
Step 7
Grout the concrete paver with tile grout. Spread a think layer of grout over the entire paver stone with a putty knife, pressing the grout down into the gaps between the tiles.
