Everyone knows what a beautiful piece of stone can become a beautiful decor with a little paint. To illustrate, we have written different articles about painting rocks like birds, painted animal rocks, and cactus rock arts. In addition to them, I want to share a new rock craft today which is a campfire rock family. This easy and adorable DIY idea is ideal for kids and you can also use these beautiful decors both indoor and outdoor.
Campfire rock family idea can be simply defined as rocks decorated with paint, hot glue, and markers. For this easy idea, you will need markers, sandpaper, wood slices, tealights, hot glue, and a different size of rocks (river and landscaping rocks are good for these ideas since they are easy to paint).
Basic steps for campfire rock family
- Firstly, you should wash the rocks (It will be better to put them in water for 12 hours)
- Secondly, you can rub the rocks with emery or sandpaper so that you can paint them easily.
- After cleaning and landscaping, you start to paint the rocks (eyes, mount, noise, hats, bows and etc).
- When you finished the family group, you can stick them on the wood slice block (or you can use flagstone) with hot glue.
- Lastly, you can put your tealight in front of the family rocks.
When you finished your campfire rock family, you will not believe in your eyes. Definitely, you will see amazing decor for your home, balcony or garden. As it is demonstrated in the photos, it possible to create different concepts such as animal figures and Christmas meetings. As mentioned above, this craft is perfect for kids. These kinds of painting activities can give rise to their creativity, eye-hand coordination, fine motor skills and provide them with qualified leisure time. I hope you will love this cute idea and perform it with your kids.
