Scroll down to the bottom of the post for a bonus video! You’ll learn the basics of painting and Mod Podging stones with a fun project. I know you’re going to love it.
With Pinterest available at our fingertips, crafting sometimes becomes all too complicated. There are so many great ideas and tutorials that the most simple crafts often get overlooked.
I am prone to fall into the trap of “bigger and better” when it comes to crafting. The more unique and complicated, the better it is! But I’ve learned that that’s not always the case.
Sometimes the most simple crafts can be the sweetest! These little rocks are one of those decoupage ideas that couldn’t be easier! They offer a big impact when grouped together in a bowl, given as a small gift or found hidden out in the garden.
This isn’t the first time we’ve crafted with rocks around here! We love painted rocks and also have a post with some rock painting ideas and tips. The difference between those posts and this one is that we’re going back to the basics – no paint is used in this project.
And the best part about this little spring craft is that it is so cheap! You probably already have everything you need on hand to whip these up in no time.
Grab some stones, some leftover paper or fabric and Mod Podge and you are ready to go! Such a cute gift for Valentine’s Day or any time of year.
