This project is simple and can be done using pebbles, and other small natural objects. Not only is this project fun and easy, but it’s also a great way to get your kids involved in the garden. They’ll love helping to create a special space for the fairies to live in.
Kitchen Label
It is a good idea to use pebbles art as kitchen labels, or especially as kitchen signs. If you have a kitchen with stone walls and floor, you can display these arts on the walls as kitchen labels.
Some designs are also suitable for kitchen signs, for example, display a piece of stone art behind the sink, and use it as a kitchen sign. You can also use stones as weights. Check out these designs that you will surely enjoy using.
Bench / Chair
A bench or a chair is a good addition to your garden landscaping idea! It is a place for you and your guests to relax, or for you to read a book and take in your garden’s atmosphere.
But, have you ever considered stones as the foundation of your bench or as your chair instead? A bench or a chair makes a great addition to any landscape!
Tic-Tac-Toe Pieces
This is a fun way to enjoy a game of tic-tac-toe. In this game far more sophisticated than that of tic-tac-toe, one player uses bug-painted stones to make a row of three while the other player uses striped ones to form a row of three.
It’s the pieces that determine how the game is played, not the squares of the board. But, you’ll definitely enjoy the creativity of this idea. 🙂
Tables
These tables are the earliest form of tables that were used by the Ancients. These ancient stone tables were often large and heavy, making them difficult to move around.
However, their sturdiness and durability made them ideal for use in homes and public spaces. Over time, they became increasingly popular and were used in a variety of settings. Today, they are still used in many homes and businesses.
