How to Paint Pour on Rocks!

How to Paint Pour on Rocks! Painting rocks is so much fun--they are the perfect canvas for all kinds of art. Paint pouring on rocks is super duper fun--it's easy and requires no artistic skill level or age range. Learn how easy it is to paint pour on rocks and do it as a last Summer craft with the kids, with friends for a crafter-noon or as a date night craft. 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!

It's a bit labor intensive.   These rocks I found were really smooth anyway but they just needed a little oomph.  Posted first on Resin Crafts Blog   See the difference between the rocks!? Rocks look amazing and vibrant in the water and as soon as they dry, it's a little disappointing how dull they look. Create shiny wet look...
