Sea Glass/Aquarium Pebble Owl Mosaic Canvas

 Today's post is going to be another DIY craft project of mine:  a mosaic owl on canvas, made with sea glass & aquarium pebbles.

In order to complete this project, you will need:

• Any Size Canvas You Like
• Flat-Sided Aquarium Marbles
• Assorted Aquarium Gravel/Stones
• Mod Podge Craft Glue
• A Sponge Brush
• A Pencil
  
  Canvases can cost about $3 or $4, depending on where you purchase them.  Mine is from Ollie's Bargain Outlet.
  
  
  Flat-Sided Aquarium Marbles and Aquarium Gravel/Stones can be found at a variety of retailers such as, craft stores, pet stores, Walmart, etc.  Bags of each are usually about $2-$3 apiece.
  
  
  Mod Podge comes in a variety of sizes, but for a project this size, the bottle you need is only about $4.  You can find this at Walmart or any craft retailer.
  
  
  Sponge Brushes are easy to find at just about any retailer.  I purchased mine in a package of about 10 at Dollar Tree for $1. 



I first made a rough sketch on my canvas of what I wanted my image to look like.

Next, I used my sponge brush & Mod Podge craft glue to dab along my sketch.  I then took randomly chosen pebbles for the body, flat-sided marbles for the wings, and sea glass for the face & tail and adhered them to the  canvas.

I repeated this process until my owl's entire body was covered with the various stones & pebbles.


Then, I used my sponge brush & Mod Podge to paint a layer of craft glue all over the entire project & canvas.  As with several of my other canvases, this not only helps to set and secure all the pebbles andstones , but it leaves the piece with a nice, glossy shine once it's dried.








Voila!  You Have a Sea Glass/Aquarium Pebble Owl Mosaic Canvas!
Thank You & Enjoy!
