Enjoy this DIY tutorial from Jessica, and make super cute and functional garden markers!
Painted Garden Rocks
Supplies needed:
Good rocks
Acrylic paint
Paintbrushes
Water dish
Newspaper
Paint rags
Before you begin:
If your rocks are dirty, as most rocks tend to be, wash them before painting.
Make sure to rinse them completely and let them dry.
If you do not let them dry before painting, it will take like 10 hours for your first layer of paint to dry.
…
Just trust me on this one.
Get started!
Decide what type of fruit or vegetable you’d like to paint and paint the first layer!
I chose a watermelon and painted my rock a dark green.
Let dry and see if you need another layer. My paint is very thick, so I did not, but you may depending on what type of paint you have.
Next Layers
After your first layer dries, it’s time to add the next bit of color! I added lines of light green for my watermelon stripes.
Sometimes it helps to look at a picture of whatever you’re trying to paint as a reference.
You can stop here, add a cute face, paint more vegetables, whatever you want! Once they are dry, they are ready for your garden or a flower pot! Good job!
