Prayer, Meditation, or just Painted Rocks

 As promised I am here with a NEW POST and yes, its a DIY!! This is a super simple DIY but it was actually the only DIY that actually worked out today. I tried learning how to do a Blind Hem on my interview pants (which I'll be using tomorrow! Woo!) but that was a total fail; I'm talking two completely different pant leg disasters. My next attempt was to make a very handy ukulele strap made from awesome Star Wars fabric and that ended up falling apart. Needless to say I had to dumb it down a little bit and I stuck to what I knew... rock painting. I know what you're thinking, wow that's hard. I actually surfed the web and found some nifty ideas and great tips! I was really happy with my final product and I can't wait to find a place for them!


Things you will need:

• Rocks (preferably smooth and all sizes)
• Acrylic Paint ( I used Martha Stewart for all surfaces)
• A thin brush ( I used an old felt liquid eyeliner empty tube)
• Newspaper (or anything to cover your counter or work area)
• Clear Nail polish (This is to give your rocks a glossy finish) 
• Quotes/Designs you'd like to put on the rocks

We picked up some rocks from a the beach a while ago they've been waiting to be used!

Here is my nifty old MAC eyeliner tube which worked perfectly because of its super fine tip!

This is the paint I used and this was my first attempt which wasn't my favorite.

After you do all of your designing and doodling make sure your rock is completely dry and smother it with nail polish!!

The left one is with nail-polish and right one is without, I guess it's a preference on how you want your rock to look.

And here is my end result, I'm thinking of sticking them on my front porch after I am done glossing them.

 Some quotes I used:

From the moment a soul has the grace to seek God; she must seek. - Mother Theresa

So I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you. -Paulo Choelo

Love can conquer all things; let us too surrender to love. -Unknown

Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. -Mother Theresa

Don't be delicate, be vast and brilliant -Unkown

If we pray, we will believe;if we believe, we will love; if we love we will serve. -Mother Theresa

& Chris' favorite... Rock on ( pun intended).


Hope you enjoyed, can't wait to hear from you.
