DIY Pebbles
Hello! I am bringing to you DIY pebbles, like the Prima (above) ones out there. 
I adore these little things and use them up fairly quickly. I can’t get enough of my embellishments. For me, embellishing a page is the best part!
You will need these glass pebbles (I purchased mine at Michaels, but you can get them at any craft store and you can also find them at Wal-Mart where you would find vases and artificial plants). Make sure you use clear ones (above), although you could really use any color as long as it’s translucent.
The most fun part is picking out your patterned paper. These papers in our June kit had some really fun patterned paper that was perfect for my “pebbles”.
Once I chose my paper, I placed the pebble on top of the design I wanted to use (above) and traced around it.
I then cut it out and used Aleene’s paper glaze glue (below) to glue the paper to the pebble.
Don’t worry about the paper being too big. You can trim it once it is adhered and the glue has dried. I also sand it after trimming it a bit.
Now comes the fun part . . . using it on a page/card or furthering your embellishment with punches, etc. To give you an example, I used my punches and layered them and glued my pebble on top (below).
You can leave it like that (which is super cute), or add it to the center of a flower which I chose to do. Now you have a ready made embellishment! Happy creating!
