Halloween
Painted Rocks
If you are looking for some
inexpensive, easy crafts for your kids this Halloween, head out to your backyard
to start the fun. Hunt around for rocks to paint with fun or spooky Halloween
faces.
The texture of the rock for
the pumpkin can be smooth, bumpy, or even jagged, as was in our case.
Before you begin, stand the rock up in the position you would like it
to be when your craft is complete. Ours was a little tricky, we just
leveled him off using the raffia and tissue.
Paint the rock orange and let
it dry. Using a black marker, draw on pumpkin's face. Glue silk leaves
to the bottom of your pumpkin. Using bits of Kleenex for leveling and
bunches of raffia, glue rock onto "straw bed". Top off your pumpkin rock
with green chenille for the stem by folding in half and gluing on top of
pumpkin's head.
If your rock is longer, you might paint
a ghost. Smaller round, rocks make great spider bodies.
