What You’ll Need
Equipment / tools:.
- Craft scissors
- Hot glue gun
- Pencil with eraser
- 8×10 picture frame with glass removed
- 1 sheet of heavy cardstock
- Assortment of pebbles
- Optional: Materials to complete your design, like watercolor paint, twigs, or craft wire
Tips for Choosing the Right Materials for Pebble Art
Before we get started, here are a few tips that could help you complete this pebble art project:
- Choose pebbles in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. If you can’t or don’t want to search outside, you can order packs of assorted pebbles on Etsy, Amazon, and other online stores, or find them in your local craft store.
- Any craft scissors will do, but our crafting experts recommend long-bladed scissors that cut easily through heavy cardstock without snagging or bending it. Check out our guide to the best craft scissors for some ideas.
- Choose a hot glue gun with high heat capabilities, like a dual temperature hot glue gun. The high heat will ensure a strong adhesion between the cardstock and pebbles.
- When looking for cardstock, you’ll see that it comes in different weights. For this project, you’ll need a heavier cardstock that can support the weight of the pebbles. The example here uses a 110 lb cardstock weight, but anywhere from 90 lb to 130 lb can work.
Craft Instructions
Ready to make your pebble art project? Follow the steps below.
1. Fit the cardstock to the frame
Most cardstock comes in the regular paper size of 8.5 inches by 11 inches, so you’ll need to trim yours down to fit your 8×10 frame. To do this, center the cardboard back of your picture frame over the cardstock and lightly trace around the back. Then, use craft scissors to cut off the excess cardstock.
Next, you’ll need to mark off where the front of your frame sits on the cardstock. This helps you keep your pebbles and picture within the frame’s dimensions. With your pencil, lightly trace around the inner frame’s corners to give you that guideline.
2. Plan your design
Now, it’s time to plan your design on your cardstock. It’s much easier to do this before you start gluing, just to make sure you fit the pebbles together to create the picture you want.
You can play around with pebble sizes and shapes for a while to get a good fit. You may wish to use pebbles with varying shades of color. But feel free to do whatever you’d like here! Just be sure to keep your pebbles within your frame guidelines you traced in the last step.
3. Glue the pebbles
Heat your glue gun until it’s ready to glue, which usually takes a minute or two. If you have a dual-temperature hot glue gun, use the higher temperature setting.
One by one, pick up a pebble and place a dot of glue on the paper where it will sit. Put the pebble back in place, gently pushing it on the paper to create a strong adhesion.
Continue until you’ve glued all the pebbles. Allow everything to set for five to ten minutes before moving on.
4. Complete the picture
You can choose to leave your pebble art as is. Pebble art looks beautiful without adding anything to your picture. Before framing, use your pencil eraser to erase the frame guidelines you traced on the cardstock.
You may wish to add some details with a pencil for more minimalistic pictures or with watercolor paint for fun pops of color. You can also use twigs, leaves, craft wire, beads, or whatever else you want, to embellish your pebble art. For instance, if you want to have a tree with birds sitting on its branches, you can make the tree and birds with pebbles but use real branches or craft wire to make the branches.
For example, you can chose to use watercolors to paint the sky and ocean. You can do this before you add your pebbles, too, if you prefer.
5. Frame it
Now, all you need to do is frame your piece! To give the picture extra support, you can slide the back of the frame underneath the picture. Then, place the frame on top and lock it into place. This keeps the picture sturdy as you place it in the frame.
Pebble Art Tips
There are so many ways to do pebble art. You can form pebbles into all sorts of shapes, pictures, and even words and phrases. Here are a few tips that might help you as you design your pebble art:
- Clean off your pebbles first if they’re ones you’ve gathered from outside. Once dirt and grime gets on your cardstock, it can be almost impossible to get it off.
- Clean up any strings left from your hot glue after you’ve glued down all your pebbles, unless you like the look of them there — that’s fine too!
- If you’re using a lightweight cardstock that you don’t think will support your pebbles, use your hot glue gun to glue a few pieces together in the corners.
- Try not to overwhelm the picture with pebbles. The idea is to make sort of a minimalistic picture with the pebbles so that they stand out on the page.

How To Create Pebble Art – 5 Easy Steps!
Have you ever wanted to make some beautiful and natural pebble art for your home? Follow along to learn how to create your own pebble art family!
I have admired some beautiful pebble art ideas for a few months now and my daughter and I have wanted to give it a try! The best thing about this project is that it is a great outdoor and indoor activity.
Materials You Will Need to Make Pebble Art (The list is pretty simple!)
- Picture Frame
- Card stock (we used white)
- Adhesive – I used E6000 glue* and my daughter used her glue gun. That girl hot glues everything!
- Pebbles & beach glass
- Driftwood & twigs
*E6000 glue is a strong craft adhesive but it isn’t meant for children to handle. Just be sure to read the directions of use.
Optional Material
- Decorative Stones – my daughter used some of these 🙂
Finding Pebbles & Beach Glass While Enjoying the Beach
One of my favourite afternoons I had over the March break was walking along the beach in Port Stanley on a hunt for the perfect pebbles and beach glass.
We tried to find stones of different shapes and sizes but the most important thing is to pick out ones that are as flat as possible. Keep in mind they will be glued to card stock so thinner stones adhere better because they are lighter. The stones also look better within the frame if they aren’t protruding too far out from the frame itself.
But who knew it was so hard to find beach glass?! Thankfully, we did find a few pieces and a shout out to my older brother who shared some helpful tips – focus on the water’s edge and dig down into the sand a little ways.
My favourite beach glass pieces are the greeny-blue ones but we ended up finding more that were clear glass. No problem! I cheated a little bit and coloured some of my clear pieces of beach glass with a green pencil crayon and I don’t think that anyone will ever know. 🙂
We also found a few pieces of driftwood and went on a hunt for twigs when we got home.
Creating Your Pebble Art – Step by Step
Step 1 – organize materials.
We began by organizing our materials onto paper plates. This made it easier to plan out our picture.
Step 2 – Prepare Picture Frames
Next, I removed the glass from the picture frames and then we traced and cut the card stock to fit the frame. We decided to glue two layers of white card stock onto the hard back part of the frame so that the brown colour didn’t show through.
Although we chose to remove the glass from two regular pictures frames for our pebble art, you can also use a shadow-box style frame with the glass because it has enough depth to fit the stones.
I did this step of gluing the card stock to the back of the frame for both of us with the E6000 glue (windows open and gloves on). After that, my daughter was able to go wild with her glue gun and materials!
Step 3 – Prepare “Mock Up” Of Your Picture
Using a spare piece of card stock of the appropriate size, we created a “mock up” of our picture.
Step 4 – Glue Your Materials to Create Your Picture
The best part was watching our pictures take shape by moving each piece onto the white card stock within the frame and gluing it down. The background was nice and secure because it was already attached to the back of the frame and it gave a solid white background because we used two pieces of card stock instead of one.
Step 5 – Let Dry Overnight and Then Enjoy!
Once we had created our pictures, we lay them flat to dry and left them overnight.
My daughter used some of her decorative stones from Michael’s and she ended up making two pieces of art.
This is my daughter’s favourite piece! She says it reminds her of the beach. It’s a great option for parents of little ones.
What We Loved About This Crafting Adventure
My daughter and I pretty much loved everything about this project! It’s one of our favourites. Walking along the beach with frozen fingers while we dug down into the sand at the water’s edge, coming up with a picture that was special to us, watching little pebbles become people, owls and stepping stones… this project is a keeper.

Love this! I have a question…why 2 pieces of glass for the frame? I’m not sure what you did with a second piece but love how it turned out. I would really appreciate it if you could answer my question. Thank you for sharing! Carol
Hi Carol and thank you! 🙂 We actually removed the glass from the frames (I mention two frames because my daughter and I were both doing one) but I think what you’re referring to is that we used 2 pieces of cardstock glued to the back of each frame so that they had an opaque background (I didn’t want the black colour of the back of the frame to show through the cardstock). I hope this makes sense but let me know if you’d like more clarification! Thanks for reading!
Is there a less toxic glue to use? I don’t trust the glue gun to hold the rocks once you hang the picture. But I hate using something that will make me sick.
Hi there! I haven’t used anything except the E6000 glue but my daughter used a glue gun and so far everything has stayed in place. If you use quality glue from a store like Michaels, I think you should be OK!
Did you use shadow frames or regular frames? Thanks
I just chose a regular frame but shadow frames work as well. So long as you like the look of your frame, either should work fine!
Hi. I’ve a question. Can I use a normal picture frame instead a shadow box frame??
Hi! For sure! The picture frame I used was just a normal frame with the glass removed. My daughter chose a shadow box. Either work!
Hello. I was wondering how you prep the stones?
I just give them a rinse and let them dry!
Love your pics just started doung rock art and you gave me wonderful ideas. Thanks
Good luck with it! Thanks for reading. 🙂
Love the pieces you and your daughter made. Great ideas and easy to follow directions. What glue did you use for the two pieces of card stock? I have gotten bumpy finishes trying that. Love to know what you do. Thanks, Sharon
Hi Sharon! I just used a tiny amount of the E6000 glue since I had it on hand for the pebbles. A bit much for the task but it just needed a small amount around the edges and it sat flat without bumps. I hope this helps! KJ
