Pebble Painting

Different faces painted on pebbles

We just got blown down by this Pebble Art - Painting on pebbles. It is a good start for people who want to paint something over the weekend, but not so good enough to create master pieces to frame :)

You just need - pebbles/rocks, acrylic paints, brushes, and microtip permanent pens (optional).

There is a lot you can do with these painted pebbles:
# Paint a set of 4-5 pebbles with a birthday or any other message and gift them. It is a fab gift idea!!
# Paint some creatures or veggies and use them to accessorize your garden
# Paint different characters or faces and just lay them on your window sill or cofee table
# Use them as paper weights, pendants by roping them, stick them with magnets and more
# You can create a kid's activity for painting these pebbles

Some really creative creations to inspire you:

Happy Crafting!!

We made our first set of pebbles and it turned out pretty good!! We had some pebbles collected from the Goa beach, really small ones. I painted the angry bird face (My favorite one) and a strawberry, while my hubby tried painting something for me - A Green Heart!!

We stuck two sided tapes and magnets to the pebbles, and used them as laptop sticker, fridge magnets, and garden accessories.
