These little rock monsters really inspired me.
Zoe from Coastal Inspired Creations made some amazing little rock monsters
using rocks, paint & magnets. They have
captivated my son and we just had to make some of our own.
I had on hand some acrylic painted gems for this little project, so I did not
have to paint any rocks. We also wanted to add our own personal touch,
so instead of magnets, we made rock monster paper clips.
Here is what we did; you have to include the kiddos for this craft.
- Sharpie pen
- White craft paint marker
- Large paper clips
- Googley eyes (self-adhesive)
- Rocks/ gems already painted
- E6000 glue or crazy glue -(for gluing the clip to gem)
1. Draw teeth in the shape of triangles or squares with the white paint marker.
2. After the white paint is dry, make an outline with the black sharpie to draw the mouth.
3. Add the eyes, since they already come with adhesive, all you have to do is stick it on.
4. Glue the clip to the rock or gem and let it dry.
Aren't they cute?
They are great for favors, gifts and even Halloween giving instead of candy.
Hope that you enjoyed.
Happy Crafting and a big thank you to Zoe!
