Here’s your directions for painting rocks:
Painting rocks is just a simple craft. All you need are rocks, acrylic paint and a small paint brush.
- Use the smallest paint brush you own.
- You can also use toothpicks, Qtips or the end of the paintbrush handle to make dots.
- Keep it simple. Rocks are small and any designs will be miniscule. Simple designs such as shapes or dots are the easiest to paint.
- If the rock is shiny the paint can come off easily. Let it cure for 72 hours before using or give it a light spray with clear sealant.
- Acrylic craft paint works great! Don’t spend a ton of money to paint rocks.
- Look online for painted rock ideas or go for a theme such as fruit or monsters.
- Let one color dry to the touch before painting a different color on top.
- Wash and dry rocks before starting your project to help the paint adhere better.
- Paint pens with fine tips work well for writing on rocks.

Hopefully people will be drawn to the rock’s designs and then pick them up to find simple messages on the other side.


LOVE your painted ‘pet rocks’ to message rocks ideas and clever post title. I can’t wait to get started and I’m looking forward to finding places to leave them too!
I’ve been reading your post about How to Blog and wonder if you’d be able to help. I sell my own crafts and resell on 2 different sites (and a brick and mortar). I always use my same pseudonym. I want to start a blog and be consistent as recommended but it doesn’t lend itself well to a blog title. Could I use my pseudonym as my Name and another for my blog? I’d like them linked of course but … I’m so confused and just want to get started. Thank you so very much for listening and sorry my question is here instead of ‘there’ haha.
First time i am watching this kind of art really funny and creative.
