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!
