Painted Rock Grinch Craft
Yield: 1
Materials
- 2-3 ” oval rocks
- Black acrylic paint
- Green acrylic paint
- Yellow acrylic paint
- Red acrylic paint
- Paintbrush
- Pencil
- Mod Podge optional
Instructions
- Paint the entire rock green (Tip: Place a bit of putty on the back of the rock to stick it to your craft surface while painting).
- Lightly sketch features onto the rock using a pencil.
- Paint on the features with black paint (eyes, nose, and mouth).
- Fill the eyes in with yellow paint.
- Add a red pupil to the eyes.
- Allow the paint to dry completely.
- Seal with a coat of Mod Podge (optional).
Notes
- A fine tip paintbrush works best for adding the facial features.
- Use paint pens for the finer details if tiny paintbrushes feel too tricky.
- If your kids are young, pre-paint the rocks green and let them handle the features.
- Add glitter glue accents for a little sparkle.
- Paint multiple rocks at once for easy handmade gifts to share.
- Store leftover acrylic paints upside down to keep them from drying out.
- Smooth rocks work best, but if yours are rough, give them a quick sand before painting.
