GATHER ROCKS

 Smooth flat rocks work best, but any rock will do. First, check your own backyard. No Luck? No problem, you can purchase rocks from your local garden center or rock yard.

PREP ROCKS

 Clean rocks in soapy water to remove dirt and debris before

painting. Want a smoother rock? Try using wood filler to fill in holes and rough areas, then sand with a light grit sandpaper.

PAINT & DECORATE

 Acrylic craft paint and paint pens are very popular choices for rock painting. Be creative, the possibilities are endless!

SEAL ROCKS

 Time to seal your painted rocks with a clear sealer spray. This will protect your rock art from the outdoor elements and scratches. Let it dry for 24 hrs before handling your painted rock.
