Making new friends

We’re so hard up for friends out here in the sticks that my kids have resorted to playing with rocks. Rocks make the best toys. If you lose it you can always get another in 2 seconds and it’s really really hard to break them, not to mention they’re cheap ;). I figure if the kids are going to collect them and try to bring them into the house I should at least make them presentable.

All you need are a handful of clean rocks spray painted white and temporary tattoo paper. Yep, I tattooed rocks! I really stink at painting so the tattoo paper served as a decal which is perfect for the painting challenged like me. It’s a great easy craft to do with the kids and you can make them into whatever you want.

From this-

To this-

Each rock only took a few seconds to do. You just print any image you want- I chose some from my silhouette software because they are stinking adorable but any image you want to print will work, follow the directions for adhering them, cut them out with scissors, and then apply your new friend. I’m not sure how long they’ll last but that’s kind of the fun of it. When the tattoo wears off we’ll add a different image! I’m sure you could try to seal them if you really wanted them to last longer.

I don’t know what’s more fun- tattooing the rocks or telling everyone “I’m tattooing rocks today, what are you doing?”.

Have a fantastic Friday!
