Father’s Day Present
…
For Father’s Day you could easily make Dad the Mothers’ Day gift I posted about last month or…have fun with paint like we did! I love days like this where we spend the whole morning together, listening to our favorite music and sitting around the table together painting. Best. Day. Ever…Well, so far this week!
…
My aunt did this project; don’t hers look perfect? She’s placed them in her beautiful garden. Here is our knock-off version:
Supplies:
- Arcylic Paints
- Sharpies
- Large rocks
- Pencil
- Paintbrushes
- Varathane “Spar Urethane–Outdoor” by Rust-Oleum (a clear, water-base ssemi-gloss coating intended to protect outdoor furniture but it can be used on different types of surfaces)
- Cute hands or paws to trace
Directions:
…
…
Clean the rocks you want to personalize and let dry.
…
…
Trace or draw the names, paws, hands, images you want on the rock lightly with a pencil.
…
…
Paint them in with the acrylic paints.
…
…
When dry, give the images more sharpness by outlining them with the sharpies.
…
…
Take the rocks outside and spray with the “Spar Urethane–Outdoor” to make them all shiny and ready for outside.
…
…
…
Then surprise your dad on Father’s Day!

I love this!!! Very cute project to do for fathers day.
That’s sweet! I used to paint rocks all the time at my aunt’s house, so this would bring back memories for me.
I used to paint rocks as a child and they never turned out this cute! Maybe it’s because I used poster paint!
Great idea and I like your large, flat rocks.
Oh, I love this. So fun and simple. And I love that your aunt puts those in the garden, fun!
Love this idea!
Tyler is going to love it!
Such a cute idea!
Perfect! I can always count on you to give me great ideas. Especially since we have no yard and Dan can insert these whereever he wants!
Good Post. Better then the simillar post I found last Wednesday on Blogspot
I think that what you said was very logical. But, consider this, suppose you composed a catchier post title? I am not saying your content isn’t solid, however suppose you added a title that makes people desire more? I mean I Never Grew Up » Father& is kinda vanilla. You ought to look at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create news titles to grab viewers to open the links. You might try adding a video or a picture or two to get readers excited about everything’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it could make your blog a little livelier.
