Garden Rocks
Labels:
Gardening
We have been working away on our garden and it's finally planted! YAY!!!
We wanted to find a fun way to mark our plants.. and this is what we came up with.
First you need some rocks.. washed and dried.
Then you need some paint pens and a sealer. We used a "matte" finish for the sealer.
Next - start painting...
When they are completely dry, find a well ventilated spot to spray the sealer. We went outside to do this.
We applied 3 coats of the sealer.
Next - we decided to paint a large rock that we had dug out of the garden a few weeks back.
This one didn't turn out as good because our paint pens were starting to leak.. but we love it anyway.

Great idea!
Wonderful idea. I used acrylic paints to do something similar years ago but I do not think my sealer was outdoor sealer and they did not last very long. And paint pens would be so much easier and quicker than a small paint brush. Thanks for the share.
Oh my goodness those are super cute and such a great idea!!
Wha a wonderful idea. Ingenuity is a great gift!
Very cute rocks!
Fantastic idea! I bet your children LoVe it! :)
Well, that's about the cutest thing I've ever seen!
What a great idea. My daughter is a very keen gardener and I am always on the look-out for quirky gifts to give her. She has way too many quilts (!!) so the rock markers are a terrific idea. Thanks Heidi.
Love your rocks. Oh how that brings back memories. My grandmother had a rock garden. Any time someone went somewhere we would pick up a rock from there and she would paint the city and state on it.

Super smart idea and I love how you are not adding anything foreign into the natural setting. Just plants and rocks, I like it!
What a fab cool idea, love it
That reminds me of that joke - "I have a rock garden - last week two of them died!" Cute idea - you are so creative.
