Tips for Painted Rock Projects
We have some awesome rock painting tips from our craft experts here at Plaid:
- Multi-surface paint, like FolkArt Multi-Surface Acrylic Paint, is the ideal kind of paint to use with rocks.
- Try embellishing your rock with glitter or sequins used along with Mod Podge for extra texture!
- Use FolkArt 3D Paint to easily add dimensional dots or outline certain designs
- To seal and finish your rock, use Mod Podge to protect it from the elements - we recommend Mod Podge Outdoor!
And one more bonus - Donna Dewberry, inventor of the FolkArt One Stroke method, visited us recently and created these gorgeous rocks to debut her exclusive new
One Stroke Beginner Kit! We love the pretty florals!
