Holiday Gifts of Painted Rocks
The holidays are quickly approaching and here's a simple idea for unique, one-of-a-kind ornaments and gifts.
By adding a pretty ribbon to those small painted stones and rocks you've been painting, you've now converted your painted stone into a holiday ornament for tree-trimming or a small present for gift giving.
I've used holiday-themed painted rocks for my ornaments, however, any small painted stones would be a great gift ornament for someone.
Just glue the ribbon to the back of the stone. To make it look more finished, you can cover the spot where the ribbon is attached with fabric or wrapping paper and Mod Podge it.
Remember to keep the weight of the stone in mind when choosing to convert them into ornaments. You don't want the tree to topple over.

Baby Jesus Painted Rocks – Gifts for Sunday School Class
Sunday school is a vital ministry within the Christian church where young people acquire the foundations of faith that will guide them for the rest of their lives.
Through regular attendance at Sunday school, children progressively learn where they fit within God's plan and how to please the Lord in their everyday life. Children's church teachers are tasked to create meaningful activities that are engaging, fun and appropriate for each age group.
During the Christmas season, I wanted to show my appreciation to a neighbor who taught Sunday school in a disadvantaged neighborhood and blessed her with the gift of painted Baby Jesus rocks, confident that she would find a meaningful teaching lesson using the painted rocks.
I thought the painted rocks could be used in one or more of the following ways:
Provide the teacher with something unique and different as a teaching aid to engage her students.
Illustrate the story of Christ's birth and humble beginnings as told in the Gospel of Luke.
Bring a smile to the face of each child when they cradle the painted rock bundle in their small hands.
Become a pocket rock each child could carry as a reminder that Christ is always with them.
Be Christmas gifts the teacher could give to each child.
Become an activity for the class by gluing a ribbon to the back to make an ornament for the child's family Christmas tree.
It was a blessing to share my painted rocks with the Sunday school teacher and through her bring joy to her class. I have since blessed another children's church ministry with the gift of painted Baby Jesus rocks and hope to continue gifting them to Sunday school classes each Christmas season.
