Make a Martha-inspired river rock boot tray with a few large serving trays and several bags of river rocks. Su at Vively Online shared this clever and chic idea. It’s a great way to bring a little of the outdoors inside, and it’s such a simple and pretty idea, like our Pebble Mat from a few months ago, but easier! Those of you who have young boys (like me) won’t be able to make these for a few years, but the rest of you can go out and get a few bags of river rocks next time you go to the dollar store.

Project Estimate:

• Tray, $1
• River rocks, about 3-4 bags, $3-4

Total: $4 and up

The other day, reader N sent me a link to this CB2 Pebble Mat and said she didn’t have time to work on the project now, but that it would be a fun dollar store craft. I agreed with her: it would be fun (and also, I don’t have time right now either! So many ideas, so little time.) As luck would have it, I stumbled across this project, posted by Meli Melo at After I Finish This Row. She’s already done it for us, so I get to post about it, and you get to make your own! You can use the multicolored river rocks like Meli did, or as reader N noted, Dollar Tree has black river rocks available as well. [click here for how to make a river rock pebble mat]
