I already made one of these little tables with Dollar Store glass gems and it came out colorful and blingy. I knew I wanted to make one with a pebble top and pallet boards and boy, am I happy with the way it came out!!
The Dollar Store polished pebbles and the reclaimed pallet boards are a natural together. I love the rustic country look this little table has!
We cut the boards to length then secured them with our nail gun. I bent the nails down for safety once we were done. You could also use exterior grade construction adhesive but it would take much longer since you would have to wait for the glue to set up and dry completely.
I bought a 16" glass microwave plate from the thrift store then used one tube of silicone caulking at $2.97 and two bags of Dollar Store pebbles, plus some larger flat stones from our garden paths. Two hours from start to finish and we have a cute country style table!
So inexpensive, so easy to make and totally weatherproof. The silicone makes the pebbles look like they are floating in water and it's such a pretty effect. I LOVE how these little bucket tables are turning out!
Suggested materials:

    Do you put the silicone down first and then lay the pebbles in or..........?

    Do you put the lid on the bucket and do you adhere the plate so it doesn’t come off?
