Ladybug Rocks for the garden

This was my favorite project from our spring fling. The bugs look so cute in the garden and were easy to make. The rocks did take several coats of paint to get really red though. I thought Camilla and Moriah might enjoy this little craft.



















What you'll need:
• Smooth, round or oval rocks, washed and dried
• Red Acrylic craft paint
• Black acrylic craft paint
• 2 wiggle eyes for each ladybug
• Black Sharpie marker
• Acrylic matte sealer spray
• White craft glue (Tacky Glue)
How to make it:
1. Completely wash and dry all rocks.
2. Paint rocks in desired colors, allow to dry. Apply second and third coats if needed. Lighter colors will require more coats than darker shades.
3. Paint head on using black acrylic craft paint. There is no pattern needed, simply paint about ¼ of the rock black in the “front”.
4. Use a black Sharpie to draw a straight line down the center of the rock, starting at the center of the base of the “head”.
5. Paint dots on the back of the rocks, also with the sharpie pen.
6. Once the paint is dry, spray the rock(s) with acrylic sealer spray. Allow sealer to dry completely.
7. using white craft glue, attach wiggle eyes and let dry.
