We fell so hard for these funny squirrels that we decided to paint them on a batch of rocks that we are decorating to hide in a neighborhood park. Rather than freehand draw these little guys, we turned to a classic tracing technique to transfer them to stone. I love when I can impress my own kids with a little crafty trick that I know! Now you can too. Here’s how we made our Unlimited Squirrels rocks…

Perfect Rock Painting Tutorial

  1. Scrub smooth river stones of any dirt and leave to dry.

2. Paint rocks with two coats of acrylic paint. If you want to leave them natural, coat them with a layer of acrylic sealant so that you have a nice smooth drawing surface.

3. Trace your art with tracing paper. you can resize your art with a copy machine first as you wish.

4. Turn the tracing paper over and shade the back of the drawing with a generous layer of pencil sketching. Really coat it.

5. Lay the art over your rock and retrace all lines.

6. The transfer may be very light. Fill in the missing lines with your pencil.

7. Paint in the color sections of the art and let dry. Once dry, use a waterproof, permanent fine marker to add a hard edge to the artwork. Aren’t they so fun?

8. Add the name of your local Facebook rock group to the back so that you know when they are found. We might also add some “A-Corny” jokes to the back for extra fun.

9. Once you are finished, seal the rocks with waterproof clear acrylic.
