Picture of DIY Anniversary Pebble Art Step 1

First things first, let’s talk about picking the right pebbles. This is the part where you get to be a bit creative. The idea was to create two people sitting on a bench, hugging—something to symbolize my parents' bond. I found the best pebbles were oval-shaped ones for the bodies and round ones for the heads. For the bench, I grabbed a long, flat pebble that’s just wide enough to fit both figures comfortably. One tip here: don’t stress about finding the perfect pebble. I spent way too long overthinking it, trying to find stones that fit perfectly like a puzzle, but honestly, it looks better when it’s not too perfect. You want it to feel natural. I even used two smaller pebbles to form a heart for the balloon instead of waiting for the perfect heart-shaped stone (which is rare, let me tell you!).
