Party Planner: Painting rocks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Show your guests that your friendship is as solid as a rock with these pretty loot bag gifts.

What you need:

-          Several smooth, clean rocks (about the size of a computer mouse)

-          Acrylic paint in a variety of colors

-          Paint brush

-          Water

What you do:

1.       Choose a base color and cover your rock with paint.

2.       Allow the first coat to dry and with a small paintbrush paint a decorative pattern on your rock.

3.       You can paint flowers, or turn your rock into a large bug, or just create a random pattern of swirls. You can individualize the rocks for each of your friends.

4.       Sign your name on the bottom.

5.       When they’re dry, give your friends these handcrafted keepsakes to use as a paperweight, or doorstop, or just a lovely reminder of how solid your friendship is.

    That’s a great gift to give to a friend. Especially if that friend is moving or going somewhere far away. It shows your friendship is as solid as a rock.

    Those look very lovely. I would put some sort of a message on there for my friend. Something like, “Best Friends Forever!”

      Words on a rock is a great idea! You could get a bunch of rocks and put one letter on each. They could form a short sentence or something. -*Dawnstar*
