Napkins and a rug of stones with their own hands
River stone is a magnificent natural materialfor home decor. Natural colors and shine, various shapes and sizes, pleasant smooth or rough texture allow you to create interesting crafts in eco-style. Napkins made of small pebbles will decorate your table and interior with a piece of nature, while protecting the table from scratches or traces of hot dishes. In the same way, you can make a rug out of pebbles with your own hands.
These pebble napkins can be usedboth for dishes, hot pots, glasses with drinks, and for pots with plants, vases, simply as a decorative surface decoration. Pebbles can also become a massage mat for your feet, reminding you every day of walking barefoot along the seashore or river.
Using stones of different colors, you can lay out patterns and inscriptions. You will get an unusual rug made from pebbles with your own hands.
Creation process for all rugs and napkinsis the same. You will need river or sea pebbles, preferably flat and small, as well as glue (a hot glue gun will be very convenient) and a base on which the stones will be glued. It can be fabric, nylon net, rubber, cork, special mesh for mosaics, etc. Stones, by the way, can also be bought in specialized shops and stores.
To prevent stones from sticking to the surface of the table through the mesh or fabric, place a grate under the base.
And then everything is simple.We take a pebble, drip glue on it, glue it to the base - and so on a hundred more times. Make sure that there are no large gaps between the stones; it is still advisable to adjust them to each other. If you are planning some kind of drawing or pattern, then it is better to lay it out in advance and then glue it on.
