How to Make Watermelon Painted Rocks

Materials Needed:

• Round-ish Rocks (I made 3)
• Acrylic Paint in:
  • Pink
  • Dark Green
  • Light Green
  • Metallic White
  • Black
  • Metallic Gold

Tools:

• Moist Paper Towel
• Paint Brushes

Instructions

Wipe your rocks to remove any dust or dirt, then allow them to dry completely.

Paint about ¾ of each rock with the pink paint, covering the majority of the rock completely. Allow the pink paint to dry completely.

Paint the remaining ¼ of each rock with the light green paint, covering the rock completely. Allow the light green paint to dry completely.

With the dark green paint, paint vertical lines about ½-inch wide from one side to the other on top of the light green painted area, leaving a ¼-inch to ⅛-inch wide section of light green paint showing. Make these dark green stripes organically messy and come together on the end of the rock. Allow the dark green paint to dry completely.

Add a line of light green paint across the join line of the pink and greens, neatening-up the area. Allow this to dry completely.

Add a line of metallic white paint on the pink side of the light green line you just painted. Allow this to dry completely.

Using the smallest paint brush you can find and a dabbing motion, add dabs of black paint on the pink area in 5-6 places. These dots will be the seeds. Allow these to dry completely.

Using the gold paint, add a “shine” on each seed by adding a dab of gold paint on the side of each seed. Allow this to dry completely.

If desired, seal with a coat of Mod Podge before sharing with the neighborhood!

This is a really fun summer craft for kids. The watermelon rocks are easy to make and will be perfect as outdoor decorations at your next pool party! Share this post with the buttons below so that other parents can have some creative ideas for how to keep their children entertained this summer!
