Cheap and Easy DIY: How to Make a Pebble Tray
- Replies 0
One of the best ways to enhance the beauty of your home decor is to incorporate more natural elements.
You can use pieces made of wood or ones that are shaped like leaves, but pebbles or natural rocks are a material that is becoming increasingly popular.
In one of our previous articles, we talked about how one mum managed to turn an old, boring bench into a fancy stone-look centrepiece in her living room.
Today, we're sharing another DIY home decor tutorial that uses stone-like elements again, but this time, we're going to make a stylish tray that will be sure to attract everyone's attention!

Julie Sousa is a content creator who has built quite a huge following by sharing her interior styling and design tips on social media.
She is also an avid DIYer, and in one of her most recent videos on TikTok, she made this stylish pebble tray out of some leftover pebble tiles and a few other pieces. And the best part? It only cost her $30!
If you're also looking to try your hand at making this DIY project, here are the things you will need:
Here's how to make the pebble tray:
First, take your round timber panel (you can purchase them pre-cut at hardware stores such as Bunnings) and, using a flat metal trowel, generously apply the grout to the wood.
Once the surface of the round panel is covered in grout (about a quarter inch thick), stick the pebbles on individually until they cover the entire surface. Then, apply another layer of grout above them.
After the grout has had enough time to dry, you can proceed to drill two holes on opposite sides of the tray to attach the stainless steel T-handles.
Then, to give the tray's sides a more natural and stone-like appearance, add more grout to the wooden panel's edge.
Once everything has dried, your pebble tray is now complete!
It was beautifully styled by Julie on her coffee table with a candle and vase, but it is up to you to decide what you want to put on top of it. Perhaps a book by one of your favourite designers, along with some of your go-to accessories and jewellery?
Julie made a Tiktok video showing the whole process, which you can watch below.
So what do you think, folks? Are you thinking of giving this DIY project a shot as well? We most certainly are!
