Description
A delightful crafting project that transforms smooth stones into colorful, sparkling treasures that engage creativity and bring joy.
Ingredients
- Smooth river stones or pebbles
- Non-toxic acrylic paint (various colors)
- Paintbrushes (different sizes)
- Glitter
- Mod Podge or any clear sealant
- Bowls or containers (for mixing colors)
- Water (for thinning paint, if needed)
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by laying down newspaper or a plastic mat to protect surfaces.
- Choose smooth stones that fit comfortably in your hand and wash them to ensure paint adheres well.
- Paint the base coat by applying a thin layer of acrylic paint to the rock and allow it to dry completely (about 30 minutes).
- Add designs using smaller brushes to paint patterns or characters on your rocks.
- Add glitter while the last layer of paint is still wet, then shake off excess glitter gently.
- Seal your artwork with Mod Podge once everything is dry, allowing it to dry completely before displaying.
Notes
Supervise younger children closely to prevent ingestion of small materials like glitter. Use metallic or glow-in-the-dark paint for unique designs.
