Ingredients
- River rocks Flat, rocks that are shaped like strawberries - wider on the top and narrower on the bottom
- Craft Paint in four colours Red, green, yellow, and black
- Brushes I used a 1 inch paintbrush, a ¼ inch flat angled artist brush, and a foam dabber
- Clear Glaze I used this Krylon Acrylic Spray Paint
Instructions
- When making these painted strawberry rocks, the first thing to do is to paint the rocks red. Use the 1 inch paint brush to paint the rocks with 3 coats of paint. Allowing the paint to dry between each coat. To help speed up the drying process, try using a hair dryer to dry the paint.
- Next, use the angled artist brush to paint green leaves on the wider, top part of the rock.
- After this is dry, use the foam dabber to paint the yellow “seeds” on the rock. To do this, dab the foam dabber in the yellow paint and then on the rock.
- When the yellow paint is dry, make a tiny dab of black paint just above the yellow seed.
- When this paint is dry, spray the rocks with glaze.
- Allow the rocks to dry completely before using. This make take a couple of hours.
