- Smooth, dense and flat rocks! You can search for them during a walk in the park or get them at craft stores, home improvement centers, or landscaping businesses.
- Acrylic paint, paint pens, and/or permanent markers
- Thin and large brushes
- Sealer
- Primer (optional)

- Once you have your rocks, the first step is to give them a good wash and wait for them to fully dry.
- If you want to make your colors really pop, you can paint the rocks with a primer before applying your personal design.
- Get creative! Use acrylic paint, paint pens, and permanent markers to make your mini rock-sterpieces come to life. (Tip: if you’re painting the whole rock – using primer or paint – we recommend doing a couple of coats for the best results!)
- Let the paint dry before applying each new layer of your design. Trust us – it’s worth the wait!
- When the design is complete, apply a spray sealer to protect it.
- You’re done!
