Pebble Art Family Portrait

You can make a beautiful family portrait using pebbles, twigs, and glue! Pebble art is an easy and relaxing craft, and it makes a gorgeous gift.

Ingredients

  • Pebbles
  • E6000 Glue
  • Base frame, shadowbox, canvas, etc.
  • Toothpicks
  • Tweezers

Instructions

  • Prepare the base for the portrait. If you are using a picture frame, remove the glass and place a piece of card stock inside the frame.
  • Sort the rocks, looking for small round rocks for heads and slightly larger oblong rocks for bodies. Also look for rocks you can overlap to look like a heart.
    Pebbles separated by shape.
  • Arrange the pebbles to create a family portrait. Add a twig if desired underneath the pebbles.

  • When you are happy with the placement, carefully glue the pebbles down. Use the toothpick to place a small amount of glue on the back of each pebble. Leave the artwork to dry for 4-6 hours.
