Creating crafts with pebbles can be a lot of fun, but they're not always an easy material to work with. They're smooth, slippery and heavy, which can make gluing them a nightmare. So, Bostik Fix and Flash is the best adhesive to use when sticking pebbles to something like a frame. Find out below how to use the product to create a family tree in pebbles!

Pebbles

Decorative paper

Step 1

Start by covering your rigid board or canvas with the decorative paper.

Step 2

Using the marker pens, create portraits of your family members on the pebbles.

Step 3

Draw the silhouette of the tree on the decorative paper and make a test placement of the pebbles.

Step 4

When you're happy with placement, apply a little glue to the back of the pebble using Bostik Fix & Flash. Turn the pebble over and position in place. Don't worry if you make a mistake as the glue is repositionable until the light is shone on it.

Step 5

Press the bulb to activate the LED light, then aim the light at the edges of the glue for 15 seconds until it's set – repeat this process for each pebble

Step 6

Cut and stick the small labels below each pebble to name your family members, or you can write directly onto the decorative paper using a marker pen.

Step 7

If desired, you can also add some small decorations at the foot of the tree using the marker pens. And there you have it, your own family tree in pebbles!
