Ever since we painted our first rocks, we quickly discovered the many benefits of rock painting. It’s crafting with nature at it’s best: relieves stress, promotes relaxation, encourages creativity, and is ultimately a lot of fun. We want to share this craft with others so what better way than to give a DIY rock painting kit as a gift.
Take it from us, rock painting ROCKS (pun very much intended)!
We started painting on beach stones a couple of years ago and use them in our gardens, flower pots, as napkin weights, fridge magnets and more. For ideas and instructions on painting rocks check out our roundup of 60 painted rocks for all skill levels, or you can refer to our many rock painting posts here:
