We recently had fun with a little project that Erin Reed from Scraps of Reflection came up with. The guidelines of this project was to find some rocks, paint them with Tattered Angels paints, and then hide them in your community with the hashtag, #TatteredAngelsRocks. Hopefully then the finder will share the rock on social media and we can see where our rock ends up! Maybe they will even get in on the project and decorate some of their own rocks! Well, Hayden and I started our project by going for a walk to look for rocks. I had to help him find appropriate sized rocks because he either wanted pebbles or huge rocks that we couldn't reasonably take home. (Is there no happy medium with a 2yr old? Why does it always have to be one extreme or another?) Anyway, once we had our rocks home, I taped down some kraft paper to the table, set out my Tattered Angels paints, and let Hayden get busy! He LOVED getting into all the paints! We started with Glimmer Glams and High Impact paints because I thought it might be easier for him to use a paintbrush. After globbing a good amount of paint on a few of the rocks, I was curious to see how well the Glimmer Mists would work on the surface of the rocks. Turns out they looked amazingly bright and pretty! Once Hayden saw the spray action of the mists he was hooked! No more boring paintbrush for him! We pretty much used different sprays for the rest of our rocks. Then, over the top of the spray we added some more Glimmer Glam to add some extra sparkle! We let our rocks dry completely before writing the hashtag on them and hiding them outside. Here's our finished rocks! We had so much fun with this project. I can't wait to see if our rocks turn up somewhere on social media with the hashtag. It would be awesome to find out if they've been found or even if the finder wanted to join in and decorate some of their own rocks! Hayden and I might even go out again and decorate more rocks to hide in our community. Its a great way to get out and enjoy some air, get crafty, and connect with the community! Feel free to hop in on this project yourself, too! Just grab some rocks, decorate them, and add the hashtag, #TatteredAngelsRocks. Happy Crafting!
