This time around we’re making cute hedgehog painted rock art! We love stone painting and we love hedgehogs so these cute fellows were a must.
Hedgehog Painted Rocks
What you need
- stones (river stones gathered on your next walk or picked up in a dollar or craft store)
- brown acrylic paint
- beige acrylic paint
- paintbrush
- black marker
Wash the stones and dry them to get rid of dust and dirt. Paint them with a coat of beige color. Let it dry. Paint over with brown, leave beige head.
You can add some texture already by adding more (wavy) layers of brown paint. Make a brown spot for the nose. Let dry completely.
When the paint dries completely draw spines, eyes and nostrils with a black marker. You are all done. Repeat as many times as you want :).
