craft ideas
The figurines built of stones are used for the design of premises and garden plots, including in various compositions. Works of this kind are harmoniously combined with water and shell products.
Combining with a fountain or aquarium will help you create the effect of some kind of refreshing oasis. Compositions in a marine style can be obtained by adding the appropriate paraphernalia with taste.
Photos of stone crafts found on various resources of the relevant subject will help you get inspired.
All kinds of accessories, jewelry, gifts made of medium-sized pebbles will also become a non-standard, elegant solution.
The most excellent decor in combination with shells will turn out for frames, vases with flowers, chests and caskets.
Also, with the help of glue, door handles, mirrors in the rooms are decorated, stands for various installations are made.
An interesting idea is to decorate bottles with small pebbles in combination with other decorative elements. And if you pour shells and multi-colored pebbles into empty glassware, adding a themed decor, you can get original candlesticks that match the style of the interior.
In addition, from approximately the same size pebbles glued to a wooden board, unusual heat-resistant coasters for food and drinks, trays are obtained.
And if you want to decorate the entrance to the room in an original way, you can take a simple silicone rug and stick flat pebbles on it, getting a stylish porch rug.
If you are really interested in such works, you can master professional skills, which will allow you to create real masterpieces in the future, and even organize master classes in stone crafts yourself.
Types of jobs
You can choose what you like from the most common techniques: mosaics, paintings or stone carvings.
In the mosaic technique, multi-colored pebble rocks are combined, gluing together on a solid basis - this technique allows you to get paintings, panels, rugs and original elements for decorating rooms. In this technique, it would be appropriate to use shells, multi-colored gravel and pebbles.
For painting you will need acrylic paints or enamels. This method is suitable for large products, and for small ones - for example, made for children.
With the help of painted stones, you can create a whole fairy-tale corner by arranging whimsical figurines of characters as you please.
Such a method as cutting for do-it-yourself stone crafts allows you to create small figures, and even a real sculpture from soft and pliable rocks.
Making crafts with kids
A great way to entertain children and instill in them artistic skills is to paint on stones and make small crafts from them. It is preferable to use gouache and acrylic paints for this, and the material itself should have a fairly smooth, streamlined shape.
Note!
The resulting crafts can be used as a gift or when decorating a children's room.
The simplest idea is colorful fridge magnets. On the one hand, the magnet itself is planted on a pebble with glue, and the other is painted.
It will be easy for children to create flower arrangements, paintings and mosaics from multi-colored pebbles glued to colored paper or cardboard.
Creating original flowers and trees, decorating pots for them, will allow children to realize their fantasies as much as possible.
Crafts from stones for your garden and plot
The material is universal, suitable for any style and, in addition to complementing and accenting landscape design, it can also carry a functional load: become a flower vase, flower bed, coasters. Its rough texture will emphasize the tenderness of greenery and flowers.
Note!
With the help of beautiful pebbles and boulders of an interesting shape, artificial reservoirs located on the plots are decorated, mainly the bottom and sides.
More complex ideas are also feasible - terraces with several levels, barbecues, rock gardens. Feel free to combine large rocks with small pebbles and sand, add colored gravel, ceramics and even bricks to your compositions.
A widespread option is paths in the garden lined with sea stones, separate areas for recreation, which helps to divide the space into several zones.
The idea is simple in execution: it is enough to level the desired area and lay the stone you have selected on the ground with your hands.
A rocky garden built with your own hands will help make your summer cottage cozier. It will be a great place to relax, creating the feeling of being in a wild corner of nature.
Note!
By combining large boulders with graceful plants, you can achieve unique combinations.
This natural material provides an almost inexhaustible resource for inspiration. Feel free to try yourself and create unique things!

Chvanova Maria. Specially for the site
Friends, in the midst of winter, it is especially pleasant for us to think about summer, the sea, the beach. Let's remember those wonderful days when, after swimming and jumping in the sea waves, we and our children began to collect smooth, washed with salty sea spray and shining in the sun, varnished by the surf sea pebbles. Well, how could you part with them?! 
This is how a couple of kilograms of "marine rarities" migrated to our house. What to do? After all, not everyone has an aquarium. 
How to make sure that all this “sea beauty” is really useful to us, and does not fly into the garbage can in a month?
Don't despair, there is more than one way out! There are a lot of interesting options for using sea pebbles in the interior and in the landscape. Let's discuss some of them.
Sea pebbles in the interior

There is a great idea: apply sea pebbles in the decoration of the festive table! Looks great in this case. decorative coasters for dishes. They are not at all difficult to make yourself. 
IDEA #2 - PICTURES AND PANEL
Because sea pebble There are different shades and different degrees of transparency, there is no limit to experiments. Sea pebbles can be combined with other materials based on the similarity of color and texture and create amazing compositions, paintings and panels. 
Small smooth pebbles go well with various materials, especially wood, glass, shells. Sea pebbles are great for creativity: the stones are flat, so they can fit under glass. And they are all so different that they ask to become part of an interesting panel. Check out examples of such work and you will surely want to create something similar!

Sea pebbles in the landscape
IDEA #5 - GARDEN PATH 
Sea and river pebbles fits perfectly into the surrounding landscape, so it is especially popular in landscape design. And for creative people, this natural material is a real find! 
Sea pebbles make excellent and durable garden paths.
Making them is not so difficult, but here you need to have enough materials. I'm afraid that the suitcase with sea pebbles may not be enough, you will have to buy or collect everything that your friends have accumulated over many years of wandering! So the idea is only limited by your imagination and the size of your luggage... 
Let us dwell on how to make such beauty and try to lay out mosaic paths from sea pebbles with our own hands. It is not difficult, but with due patience and imagination, incredible masterpieces can turn out.

- hard brush.
The work process is sequentially shown in the photo:
IDEA No. 6 - "DRY STREAM"
Let's continue the previous topic and show even more imagination. After all, sea pebbles can also be used as a basis for "dry streams" and gravel gardens. Laid out on edge, it remarkably imitates the water flow in a “dry stream”. 
But in this case, it is important not to get carried away and show maximum artistic taste and “not overdo it” with the design! 
In my landscape objects, I often use this technique: “dry streams” really enliven the landscape of the site and serve as drainage wells to collect excess water. You can see in more detail how such a combination of “beautiful with useful” looks at the link .
Another interesting "dry stream" turned out on my other landscape object. More photos see the link .
Mosaic decorative areas for a garden made of sea pebbles can also be bright and unusual.. The technology of their manufacture is similar to how garden paths are made (described in detail above). Get inspired and ... go ahead, do the wonders of garden design with your own hands!
IDEA #8 - COMPOSITIONS FOR THE GARDEN
From sea pebbles beautiful small sculptures and compositions are obtained that will decorate the landscape of the site. They, like elegant accessories, will add style and sophistication to your garden. Products from sea pebbles can decorate paths, ponds, flower beds. 
With crafts made from sea stones or all kinds of shells, you can decorate not only your house, but also the area adjacent to it. Of these, even children can create a huge number of toys and various things.
What you need to create crafts: tools and materials
Any stones that are collected on the sea or river bank are suitable for making souvenirs.
Pebble can be any:
- to size;
- smooth, like gloss, or rough;
- plain or painted with veins or inclusions;
- transparent or translucent.
They create panels from it, decorate frames for paintings or photographs, decorate a variety of containers, sometimes even large surfaces, create all kinds of characters, pave garden paths. They go well with other natural materials. They decorate the interior of the premises or the garden plot.
For especially valuable shells, you even have to dive to the depths. They are collected in the summer, however, on overseas beaches this can be done at any time of the year, and only empty. Some people buy them in souvenir shops. And although many unusual shells are found on the shore of a lake or river, it is sea shells that are recognized as the most attractive and suitable for crafts.
They will look great on all kinds of frames, you can create panels and paintings from them - real masterpieces.
Glue, paints and other materials for creativity
Sea stones and shells are not the only things that will be required in the process of working on crafts. Usually, the farm will find a lot of what you need, and if something is missing, you can always buy it.
What you need:
- plasticine ordinary and hardening, which is distinguished by the ability to harden after some time in the air;
- clay;
- paints - gouache, watercolor or acrylic;
- glue;
- nail polish (sometimes acrylic);
- salty dough:
- Take flour and salt in a glass, mix with half a glass of water and a tablespoon of starch or PVA glue. Glue is used when you need to sculpt thin figures.
- For storage, the dough is removed in a bag and in the refrigerator, no more than a month. Later, it is enough to paint it with gouache, watercolor or food coloring to give the product the desired color, varnish it, dry it in the oven and remove it completely cooled down.
- gypsum;
- any sand;
- shards of glass;
- flexible soft wire;
- scraps of fabric, leather, suede, fur, yarn or thread;
- cardboard (you can plywood);
- beads, beads, buttons;

Tools
For work, you will also need some tools:
- pencil;
- awl;
- brushes;
- various stacks;
- round-nose pliers for working with wire;
- drill;
- file;
- sandpaper.
Workplace and safety
The workspace must be properly organized.
You need to cover the desktop with an old oilcloth or newspapers. The workplace should be provided with a source of light. A work robe or apron will help keep your clothes clean. An old T-shirt is enough for a child. In summer and in the fresh air, you can work, sitting on the veranda or balcony.
You will have to use a portable box to fit the necessary materials and tools.
Safety precautions should be given special attention, especially if children are involved in the process of work:
| Job | Precautionary measures |
| With a drill | Goggles or eye protection, gloves (not for children) |
| With salt dough | Electric or gas oven (only under adult supervision) |
| With varnish | Do not keep the container open for a long time. You can pour some varnish into a plastic cup and close it again. The room must be well ventilated. After work, the brush should be washed in a solvent |
| Working with 10% hydrochloric acid solution | Work with acid using an old toothbrush and wearing gloves to protect your hands. Eyes should be protected |
Preparing shells and stones
It is enough to rinse the pebbles with boiling water, and it is ready to go. You have to work hard with shells.
The first thing is cleaning:
- It is enough to soak “dead” shells for half an hour in a chlorine-containing agent diluted with an equal part of water;
- too dirty shells are soaked longer, then they are brushed, rinsed in water;
- "Alive", in which the remains of mollusks are present, because of which they emit a disgusting smell, it is necessary to clean especially diligently. Boiling for 5 min. will allow you to easily remove the remains of mollusks with tongs or nail scissors, after which the shells should be treated with an agent containing chlorine.
Some crafts require drilling a hole. The main thing is that cracks do not appear on the shell, or it does not exfoliate at the point of drilling. It is recommended to pre-glue the shell with masking tape, put it on a flat surface and put a mark on the inside.
A hole in it can be made in two ways:
- Manual. If there is no screwdriver or drill, then there is a nail and a hammer. A nail is carefully placed on the mark and tapped with a hammer until the initial hole is formed. Expand it to the desired diameter, making translational movements inside the hole with the same nail.
- automated(drill or screwdriver). You will need a drill with a diameter not exceeding 0.8 - 2 mm. If the hole is drilled using tape, the shell will not be damaged.
How to remove chips and cracks on sinks and stones?
Treated sinks should be carefully inspected to make sure that they do not have any chips or cracks. Finding perfect shells without such damage is quite difficult.
To polish the surface of the shells, you can use:
- sandpaper;
- bar;
- disk.
Lacquer coating will hide even cracks invisible to the eye and give the material a shine.

About ornament
Patterned paths look spectacular. First, you need to disassemble the stones by size, shape and color, then make a sketch of the ornament and its template, and lay the latter on the mortar. Pebbles look great whether laid flat or edgewise.
The path is the classic and most common option for decorating the site.
Make a backlight and it, created from a light stone, will become “moon”, and from a colored stone it will become contrasting. However, this is not the only design technique. Pebbles will help hide uneven terrain or not particularly attractive objects on the site.
It could be:
- high flower bed, steps or alpine slide;
- garden sculptures - no restrictions for creativity;
- fencing.
Crafts from sea stones and shells that you can make with your own hands are a source of countless ideas for creativity. Sea pebbles are easy to turn into marine life. The child can even manage on his own. The main thing is to tell him how, with the help of a brush and paints, you can make fish of various colors.
And then it will not be difficult to find a use for them:
- put in an aquarium
- make a mosaic on the plot;
- just play with them in the water.
You can collect a whole town of fabulous houses on the playground or, armed with a glue gun, transfer the pebbles to the panel, using as a base:
- cardboard;
- plastic;
- even a wooden fence.
You can lay out a flower bed in the form of a mosaic of stone flowers. Pebbles will make an excellent portrait of a friend. You can make several stone men and even lay out a whole scene from life. The child will rejoice, turning ordinary pebbles into funny animals.
You can not limit yourself to miniature crafts. This material can be used to create something more significant, such as a dry stream, a mosaic carpet at the house or pool. Having a cowrie shell and turning to a needlework store for accessories, you can make a boho-style bracelet.
If you do crafts with children, they will be happy to paint sea stones and glue shells. Such a joint pastime is sure to bring family members even closer.

A useful video clip about crafts from sea stones and shells
Video of a master class on making a rug from sea pebbles:
You've probably already seen all the wall art ideas except for one. Indeed, in this material we want to show you charming stories made from ordinary sea pebbles! These pebbles are great for this kind of creativity: they are flat, so they can fit under glass. And yet, they are all so different that they ask to become part of an interesting panel. Check out the examples of work and you will surely want to create something like this!
Several pebbles of different colors, a good frame, hot glue (from a glue gun) and fantasy - that's what you need to create such a masterpiece. Simply apply glue to the stone and press it down on the desired spot on the canvas. Add other stones - and get a concise, but very beautiful plot. For example, here is a wedding.
Or a great family "portrait", where the husband, wife and kids seem to be sitting on a branch. Of course, in addition to pebbles, you can add other materials to the work: the branch here is made from a dry branch with a fork.
Another wedding scene. Newlyweds in beautiful clothes (yes, and this can also be conveyed by ordinary pebbles) enjoy each other's company on the seashore. Please note that the pebbles almost do not step on each other, because otherwise the composition may become too voluminous and not fit under the glass.
Here is another family portrait. The focus is on the couple, on which the whole family depends. This married couple has two children, but despite this they carried their feelings through all the trials of fate. Such tenderness can be embodied in stone!
Here, too, additional material was used - a branch and a pencil, with which the birds' beaks are completed. Stone is a heavy material, but looking at this panel, on the contrary, there is a feeling of lightness, isn't it?
And even daisies can be made from pebbles! Just choose contrasting colors and lay out the petals with thin white pebbles. Draw the legs of the flowers - and you're done!
And here, for sure, different generations are depicted. You see - one pair of silhouettes is more monumental, and the second is more "alive". By picking up stones with curves, you can depict younger people.
On the next panel, people are depicted interspersed with stones, but for some reason there is no doubt exactly where the people are and where the stones are. It's all about the skill of the artist and the thoughtfulness of the details of the pebbles.
Here is the romantic scene. The lovers stand on the biggest stone - this is probably a hint of their feelings ...
A variation on the same theme, only with a different configuration of pebbles.
And here again the birds, but not on a branch, but on stones. Perhaps in nature there is such a small pebble with which you can display a beak, but it's easier to draw it.
And this is just a wonderful picture: a father and son fly kites into the sky! The threads stretching from the kites are also drawn in pencil. Everything is simple, but appropriate.
But not birds, but people are already sitting on a branch.
A couple on a walk climbs out onto the stones. Thanks to curly pebbles, it is clear who is a guy and who is a girl.
Again the birds. The smaller the pebbles, the more birds you can fit on one branch.
But this is just a great idea. The lovers "coo" on the bench, and the moon shines above them. So, thanks to one tiny pebble, the author makes it clear that the panel depicts the night.
This time the birds are depicted on the wires. The legs of the birds are drawn, but the wire is stretched real - wire.
Children enjoy balloons made of perfectly oval stones.
Another version of the kite is such a textured pebble. It looks like a small heart, and is very suitable for the image of a snake.
The bride and groom have climbed to the highest level of their relationship.
The bird flew into a nest made of additional materials.
And here is a lonely lighthouse in the darkness of the night. And by the light of the moon, which is represented by a small pebble.
And here it is a sunny day, and the girl is going to climb a tree to pick apples. Even such nuances can be shown in the picture with ordinary pebbles.
Well, did you like stone panels? There is just a little bit left: to dig out your stocks of pebbles (you bring pebbles from a seaside vacation, right?) and make a similar picture on any topic.
