DIY -painted stones-

Hi :) I've noticed the last time that i've made a copy of the post that i made on the birdsblog, my readers were happy about that. So today i've done it again, just a little surprise :)

An easy DIY for yourself, the kids, a birthday party or as a rainy day activity with the family :) You can buy stones in a store or at a garden centre, but usually they are more expensive then when you find them in nature. Go out for a walk and bring home a bunch of stones.. All you need is acrylic paint, paintbrush, water and your own imagination! I've painted mine turquoise and purple. Since they are still in their drying state, i have some time to figure out what i want to paint on them. Since i will be selling some on a market in a while, i really want to paint something easy and catchy!



i totally love these!

There are even workshops for a few hours
that you can follow. But i like to experience
at home :) Since we had a few rainy days,
it felt like a perfect thing to do!

Have fun painting them & if you
did let me know :)

Love,
Vera
