Painting Rocks with Nicknames

Painting rocks with nicknames is a quick personalized painting project. Painted rocks with nicknames can be used as paper weights and for decorating mini-indoor gardens. Always use a spray sealer, Mod Podge, or clear nail polish to seal the painted rocks. Also, keep in mind where you will place the painted rocks. It is illegal to hide painted rocks in National parks and other national landmarks.

However, painted rocks can also be placed outside in your garden especially if you use big rocks to decorate your rock garden. In this example, the painted rock with a nickname is displayed on a kitchen countertop for decoration. Painted rocks can be used to hold notes, as placement holders, or as a conversation starter. Use your favorite colors with your nickname or your friend's favorite colors to paint a rock with their nickname. Here is the tutorial for painting rocks with nicknames.
