Total Time Needed: 1 Hour
Turn a pile of stones into ornamental artworks that will spruce up a garden bed, a potted plant or a windowsill.
Materials
- Small stones
- Acrylic paint and brushes
Instructions
- Start by scouting in the backyard for smooth stones in various shapes and sizes.
- Imagine what each stone's shape lends itself to. For example, a wide, rounded stone would make a good fat cat. Or perhaps a group of stones will inspire a family of critters like a brood of ducklings.
- Use the paints to realize your artistic vision.
Variations:
Use stones to create colorful and helpful markers for a vegetable or flower garden. Simply paint a carrot, some peas, or maybe a sunflower on a stone to place at the end of a plant's row.
