Fall Painted Rock Ideas

Rock painting continues to be one of our favorite crafts. Over the past years we’ve painted rock sharks, woodland animals, flower rocks and more. Moreover we have a whole collection of over 60 of the best painted rocks to explore!

With fall around the corner, we of course had to try painting some pumpkins. Most beach stones have kind of a pumpkin shape after all!

These painted stone pumpkins were actually inspired by some watercolor pumpkins Jane painted. We turned them into lovely free printable Thanksgiving place cards which you can download.

The little watercolor pumpkin painted rocks are quite easy to paint and only need three colours of paint each. We’ve used them as napkin weights, clustered them together on a shelf or you can even put them in your garden outdoors. It’s just fun trying to paint on a different surface.
