i went to the dollar store over here and couldnt find a mat. have any suggestions? i cant find a plain black mat. everything i find is all furry or has the rough part to rub the dirt off of feet. awful looking. anyways.. please let me know. 

err.. marvelously***

WOW you are just fuil of crafty ideas, and you execute them amrvelously! I am digging this rock mat, and i have a bag of rocks i been lookin at wondering what to do with it. Now I know! I will def post a pic of mine when i am done. thanks. 

Question: the mat, was it solid mat or did you turn the mat over and use thebottom? just wondering...

This is awesome. WheneverI have seen those in the store, I always figured there was some sort of magic to it. It never occurred to me to just go simple and glue rocks to a mat!

I actually had been on my way to purchase new bath mats after a nasty leak ruined my old ones. I saw this, found all of the materials in one trip to a dollar store, and made myself one. I am now making one as a gift. Great idea!!!

Nice!  I was totally jealous of my friend's CB2 version, but now I can show her up.

I used dollar store no name stuff, calls itself Contact Adhesive on the package and doesn't elaborate. It has kind of a gloopy rubbery feel to it, and peels but doesn't wash off of skin. I just had a peek on google and apparently for small scale mosaic projects (which this sort of is) you can either use a silicone sealant , in a tube not a gun, or just bog standard waterproof glue, but not PVA. Hope this helps!

Love the mat. Could you please elaborate on the type of adhesive used?

Such a great idea! I like yours better than the storebought version.
