You Rock Valentine Tutorial

First up, you’ll want to prep your rocks.  I gave ours a quick rinse because they had some dirt and dust on them.  Then I went ahead and painted all the rocks white.  I did this so that the colors would pop more.  Once the white was dry, I painted on the desired colors.  I just used regular craft paint for both the colors and the white.  I painted 2 coats of color.

Once the color coat was dry, I painted a small heart on each rock – I just love this touch to the project!

It’s fun to have lots of different color options!

Then to attach the tag, I just used twine wrapped around the rock – easy peasy!

I just love how they turned out!!
