Rock Paintingby Catherine PulsiferThere are tons of rocks on our property. Different sizes and shapes. We started collecting these and started using acrylic paint to paint them. Our favorite rocks to paint are "lady bugs". They are very simple to do. You need: - rocks - acrylic paint (which usually costs no more than $1.50, one bottle will paint a lot of rocks) - clear varnish Steps in painting: - We first paint the entire rock black. - We then paint the sides of the rock (in half circles) red or yellow (or whatever color you have) - Once the sides are dry, we then go back and put a few black circles on the color portion. - We then paint in some eyes and a smile. - In addition, we usually write a saying on the bottom, for example, smile, be happy, live life, have fun, etc. - Once we have completed we put a coat of clear varnish on them to protect them. Total cost to make is less than $.50 (depending on the size of the rock) We have found both adults and children love these rocks. Children love to play with them. Adults use them to put in their gardens, or just to have as an ornament. Let your imagination soar, you can paint literally anything on rocks, from your favorite sayings to pictures. Let your imagination go with these rocks! Happy Painting!
