To cut the mosaic tile, you need a board tile cutter that has a carbide blade. You can get this in any of your local tiles equipment stores. This board has a wheel that allows you to cut the mosaic tile with ease. If you are a professional builder, you should consider buying one, but if you want to perform a one-time mosaic tile cutting, it is better you borrow it. Once you have this board, you should get a utility knife by your side too and then follow the simple steps outlined below:

  1. Set the sheet of the mosaic tiles you want to cut on your board tile cutter. The back should rest on the board.
  2. Make sure that the portion of the mosaic tiles you want to cut off aligns with the carbide blade at the base of the wheel.
  3. Before you begin the cutting, hold the mosaic tile sheet in place with your other hand so that it doesn't move with the wheel during the cutting process.
  4. Cut the tiles by moving up the wheel.
  5. The number 4 process above only makes a mark (a slightly deep cut) along a straight line. Using the same wheel, apply pressures along those lines to complete the cutting process.
  6. To remove the mosaic tile, flip the mosaic sheet over to the other side and use your utility knife to cut the back of the material. You should be careful while doing this, so you don't injure yourself.
  7. This way, you have successfully cut and removed the mosaic tile. If there are rough edges on the tiles you have just cut, you can trim them using the smooth sides of the cutting board.
