Pebble Flower Picture

Pebble Flower Picture

Plain Pine template bought from the craft section at the hardware store.

I then painted it with metallic gold paint so that any small gaps in the pebbles 

would not show through as plain pine once the project is complete.

Placing the pebbles ...

*  I arranged the flowers first to ensure that I could space them out evenly across the board.

*  I chose the most perfectly round, tiny little river pebbles
 to create this 3D flower picture.

*  Make a watery mixture of plain water and a small amount of glue and stir with a soft paint or craft brush, until fully dissolved .  Brush this solution all over the mosaic project, making sure that all the tiny nooks and crannies between the small pebbles.  Allow to fully dry.

*  Spray the entire picture with Tile Waterproofing Spray, 
and allow to dry thoroughly.

All done :)

Completed Project

**  This project was quick, simple and visually effective.

Finished project.

Pebbles to choose from ...


*  Choose a range of pebbles (or whatever tesserae you wish to use) 
and roughly shape your pebble flowers so that you can gain a perspective 
as to the spacing of them around the exterior of the pot. 
 I have them placed randomly, with different sizes placed around the pot.  
I used smaller pebbles to create the flowers bordering the top edge of the pot.

*  Make sure that you choose pebbles that naturally slot in with the others. 

 You will develop a good eye with practice and time and may even find that

 just the right little pebble will stand out from the others, as though it is meant to be.

*  Once complete, allow the pot to dry fully.  One to two days is ideal.

*  Take a small amount of glue and mix it with water in a plastic bowl or tub. 

Using a soft, clean paint or craft brush, stir and blend the solution until all the glue is dissolved and a weak, white liquid is achieved.  

*  Gently, yet liberally paint the glue solution into all the crevices between the pebbles, ensuring that every section of the entire pot is saturated.  

Allow to dry for at least a day or two.

*  Spray tile waterproofing spray all over the finished project, 

making sure that you get it into all the tiny gaps between the pebbles.  

Finished project :)

*  All finished and ready to put to good use.

Terracotta pot to be used ...

A selection of Runes to be used ...


*  For this project I used small rounded-shaped, different coloured Rune stones 
and quirky-shaped tiny pebbles to fit in between the crevices.



*  Spreading a small amount of glue at a time, 
place each stone to its most comfortable and visual appeal.  

You may find that the ‘right’ pebbles will present themselves to you.

*  Once your project is totally dry and set (one to two days), 
make a weak solution of glue blended with water.  
Use a soft bristled paint or craft brush to blend the water and glue mixture, 
then brush the solution on all areas of your project, 
paying particular attention to the nooks and crannies between each pebble. 
 Allow to dry for a day or two.

*  Using Tile Waterproofing Spray, ensure that all stones are thoroughly covered
 and waterproofed, ideal for outdoor use.  
Allow to dry.

Zig-Zag Pebble Pot

PEBBLE POT

Finished project.

Terracotta pot to be used ...

*  Choose a selection of round pebbles and oblong river stones.

*  Draw the desired design on the terracotta pot using a pencil, 

tweaking it here and there to suit your taste.  

With this project I chose to use a mix of stone and decided upon a simple zig-zag design.

*  Spread glue evenly upon the section to be worked on, 

and place pebbles where you wish to achieve your desired effect.

*  Once complete, allow the pot to dry fully ... generally one to two days.

*  Mix a small amount of glue with water in a plastic bowl or tub. 

Using a soft, clean paint or craft brush, stir the solution until all the glue is dissolved 

and a weak, white liquid is achieved.  

*  Gently, yet liberally paint the glue solution into all the crevices between the pebbles, ensuring that every section of the entire project is saturated.  

Allow to dry for at least a day or so.

*  Liberally spray tile waterproofer all over the finished project,

 making sure that you get it into all the tiny gaps between the pebbles.

All finished :)

*  For this piece I chose to use nicely rounded-shaped, different coloured Rune stones and quirky-shaped smaller pebbles to fit into the tiny crevices.

Old terracotta pot to be used 

*  Spreading a small amount of glue at a time, place each stone to its most comfortable

 and visual appeal.  It’s a little like putting the pieces of a puzzle together, 

with the project evolving and growing as though of its own accord.  

*  Work around the piece section by section until complete.

*  Once your project is totally dry and set (I usually wait at least 24 to 48 hours), 
make a watered-down solution from a small amount of glue blended with water.  
Use a soft bristled paint or craft brush to thoroughly blend the watery mixture. 
Gently brush the solution on all areas of your project, 
paying particular attention to the nooks and crannies between each pebble.  
Allow to dry for a day or two.

*  Using Tile Waterproofing Spray, ensure that all stones area thoroughly sprayed and waterproofed for outdoor use.  Allow to dry.

* All done 
