Pebbles for Mosaics and Craft Work
Craft and mosaic work needs stone selected for shape and colour rather than volume. Flat, evenly sized pebbles set into mortar or resin; irregular pieces do not.
Order more than the calculated quantity. Sorting for shape and colour typically leaves a meaningful proportion of any batch unused.
Suitable pebble types
- Coloured pebbles
- Tumbled pebbles
- Red pebbles
- Multicolour pebbles
Recommended sizes
5–20 mm for most mosaic and resin work; 20–30 mm for larger panels.
Recommended finish
Polished or tumbled — smooth surfaces bond and read better in finished work.
Colour selection
Buy the full colour requirement together so tones match across the panel.
Quantity considerations
Add 25–30% over the calculated area to allow for shape and colour sorting.
