I am really captivated by the whole idea of making a placemat using pebbles, it brings a neutral backdrop to a wide range of dinnerware and table setting choices. Can also be made for shoes, door way...name them!
Use a hot glue gun to glue flat beach pebbles to circles of felt or wood.
They are perfect placemats for teapots and warm serving bowls, and they look great.
Tip: you can paint the pebbles and use it as a wall hanging as well.
