Painted Rock Craft

We made it to the one month mark in the #stayhomestaysafe Covid-19 order, and I pray you are all doing well. The social distancing hasn’t been bad for this home body, but I miss being able to interact with people. It has been a roller coaster of emotions, but all I can say is, THANK GOD FOR SPRING! It has been a great time to catch up on things that have been pushed on the back burner, but I thought I would share a super easy, just-for-fun project. Browsing Pinterest resulted in finding this painted rock craft that ended up being so soothing one afternoon.

Voilà Cacti Arrangement

Supplies needed:

Stones – river rocks are a good size
Craft paint
Fine paint brushes
Flower pot – size depends on how many stones you wish to paint and arrange.
Dirt, sand, or gravel to fill the pot.
Decorative pebbles or gems for the top layer
Glue
Faux flower petals

The directions are simple!

Fill your flower pot with dirt, sand, leaving space at the top to add the decorative top layer.
Paint your rocks.
Glue faux flower petals to the top or side of rocks.
Cluster your painted rocks in the flower pot and fill in with decorative pebbles or gems to secure.
