Flat Marble Thingy Tutorial

since showing you all my meathead, i've gotten a couple of requests on how i made my little pins.  i wish i could say that i was brilliant enough to have come up with this all by myself, but that would be a lie.  and lying is wrong.  i think there's a commandment that says so.

go to not martha's   for a brilliant list of how-tos (i didn't use these instructions, but i could have).  although the instructions are for magnets, the premise is the same.  i used a special acid-free glue that's used for bookbinding that dries clear.  it's strong enough for sticking the image to the pebble.   i bought the glue and the pebbles at the paper source, a store that i love.

where i changed things is that instead of attaching a magnet to the pebbles, i attached a brooch backing.  i think i bought these pins at joanns, they're easy enough to find at any craft store that sells jewelery making supplies.  i sewed each pin to a piece of felt cut to fit then with my trusty glue gun (i love my glue gun) i attached the piece of felt to the back of the pebble. 

easy as pie.  the hardest part of this whole project was getting the lid off of the glue jar -- it stuck -- and cutting the felt, because i don't have a decent pair of scissors for cutting fabric.
