Awesome and Easy Rock Painting Ideas

There’s a rock painting craze sweeping the nation and if you haven’t heard of it then it’s quite possible you’ve been living under a rock!Here’s how it works. You paint a rock, stone or pebble in any way you would like and leave it for someone else to stumble upon with the intention of brightening up their day. It’s as simple as that.

With a quick search online you’ll find oodles of local groups to join in your area and you are encouraged to post photos of any rocks you may find. It’s a fun way to get the kids involved and enthused about the outdoors. And it’s a great family activity. Give it a go! Below are some ideas to get you started.

TIPS FOR PAINTING ROCKS

*Rocks/pebbles can be purchased from hardware stores & garden centres- please do not take them from beaches or river beds as this is illegal & adds to coastal erosion etc*

1.  Smooth rocks are the best to work with. You can get the ideal rocks/pebbles for painting from garden centres and pound shops.

2. Wash your rocks with a mild detergent before leaving to dry.

4. Make-up brushes are good to use and can be found in pound shops.

5. Protect your finished designs with a layer of PVA glue.

6. Don’t forget to leave an instruction note on the back of your rock if you’d like feedback.
