Page Pebble Tutorial

Page Pebble Tutorial:
Page pebbles are a decorative accent that many people use on their pages and can give you layout a little more dimension. However companies like Prima Marketing that make these can charge upwards of $6.00 for 6 of these pebbles, which can get very expensive, so using some info that I have found on the web I have developed a tutorial on how to make these, so you will not break you bank to use them on our page.

First gather the following supplies:
  • Paper, stickers, or small thumbnail size pictures
  • Scissors
  • Pencil
  • Glossy Accents
  • Pebbles (the ones you can find in a bag at the dollar store to decorate with, just make sure the have a flat back, not the marbles)
Pick your size of pebble that you would like to use and trace it onto your paper or image.

Cut out our image, it helps if it is a little smaller then what you traced. This will allow there not to be an paper showing when you mount it onto our layout.
Apply a small drop of the glossy accents to our paper.

Then push it down onto our image, making sure their are no air bubbles. (These two smaller images were stickers, from the February Kit from Addicting Paper)
Theses are the finished pebbles. The two large ones and the longer one were done with regular patterned paper, and the one of the accorn and owl were stickers.
I incorporated the page pebbles into this layout. Of my children and their grandmother.
This layout uses a larger page pebble in which I used a thumbnail size picture of a tractor similar to ours that my son is riding on.
