A way to make your garden and yard distinctive is to display rocks with your address painted on them. Painted rocks can also be used as unique memorial markers.

I have just started painting rocks and am having trouble with my painting. I have tried sealing the rocks first but I still can't seem to get an even covering. What am I doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteWelcome to rock painting, Kiwi Crafter. You are not doing anything wrong; I've had the same experience. Some rocks have more moisture in them than others which can affect how the paint adheres. Most times, I need to apply 2-3 coats of paint to get good coverage. Instead of sealing the rocks first, a coat of white acrylic paint may be a better alternative to help the subsequent coats of paint adhere and cover the rock. Keep in mind that several thin coats of paint are better than one thick coat.
