How to Make the Strawberry Painted Rocks
What you need:
- rocks
- acrylic paints (red, green, and white) or acrylic pens
- paintbrush
Step by Step Tutorial
A rounded, slightly triangular-shaped rock works best for a strawberry.
Have kids paint the entire rock red and set it aside to dry completely.
Tip: depending on the brand of paint, it can be a good idea to first paint a layer of white.
Once dry, use green paint to carefully fill in the top part of the rock to create the strawberry’s leafy crown.
Now for the most satisfying step!
Using white paint and a thin brush, have kids dot tiny seeds all over the red part of the rock.
Set the rock aside to dry one last time, and that is it, one little strawberry painted rock is completely done!
These strawberry painted rocks are so cheerful and bright that they instantly make any space feel more fun and summery!
They look absolutely adorable displayed in a little bowl, tucked into a plant pot, or lined up on a kitchen windowsill.
They also make the most charming handmade gifts.
