I coated these gorgeous rocks with a thick layer of high gloss resin.


I love how shiny, shimmery, glittery and smooth they turned out.


If you like painting rocks, you will love these!

I gave this yellow, green and blue one to a little neighbor boy.


Every time he comes over to my house, he brings me pretty rocks because he knows I like them. (usually rocks he found in my yard...but still)


Isn't that the cutest thing ever!?


He's right, I do love rocks!

Step 1: Set Up


Begin by setting up the workspace.


Place a disposable paper down and then set small paper cups on the table.


Place the rocks on the cups, so the pour can drip down them.

Step 2: Dirty Pour


Then squeeze a bit of paint into a small cup.


Squeeze more paint on top of that.


Continue filling the cup with paint in a growing "target" or "bullseye" shape.

Alternate high contrast colors.


Use white and black for a bold look.


I love the FolkArt Island Hop (bright pink), I use it on all my paint pours!

Step 3: Toothpick


Now use the toothpick and stick it in the paint.


Run it down through the paint in a plus sign shape...just 2 simple swipes.

Step 4: Pour


Now pour out the cup of paint on the rocks.


It swirls and pours right off the edges of the rocks, so this uses...and wastes...a lot of paint!


Still, totally worth it.


If you work on a silicone or non-stick surface, you can let the paint drippings dry and use them for jewelry, mosaics and other crafts.

Repeat the process for all the rocks.


In this scenario, it's kind of hard to know when to stop!


There's a few times I should have just stopped, but I kept pouring on the paint.

Try different techniques:


Pour directly on top of the rock.


Pour in stripes across the rock.


Drop dots of paint on the rock.

Step 5: Dry


Now the hard part.


Leave the rocks to dry completely.


It took about 24 hours for my rocks to dry.

The paint spills and drips down the cup and onto the table surface.


It's a bit messy, but a great craft for any age or any skill level.

Step 6: Resin


Now spray the rocks with a glossy clear coat spray or coat them in high gloss resin.


Let them dry again.


Then they are ready to hide around town for people to find, or keep them for yourself because they are so beautiful!

I love the combination of the vivid colors and the chunky sparkly glitter.


It looks like a cosmic planet...like the kind of planet I would design.

I love the colors together.


I think this one has a ghostly figured poured on it...a woman with long flowy hair...maybe a skeleton face with long ghostly hair...just tip your head to the left and look at it.


What do you think--do you see her?

The cool thing is that the glitter paint looks white when it goes on.


It dries clear with lots of intense glitter and sparkle!


So it's totally a surprise to see how it turns out.


The FolkArt Drizzle Glitter paint is totally worth it!
