This time I took a departure from my usual paper based projects into something a little more elemental. Rocks! We took ordinary rocks we found out in a field, cleaned them up and decorated them with decorative glass rocks we found at the dollar store. Pretty easy peasy! But it's super cute and fun to lay in your flower garden, fish pond or even sit on a shelf. Here is an example:
 |
| And here is the fun little video we created to share with you! |
I mentioned on the video that my son has a blog where he will be posting his cooking creations. The name of his blog is Tomorrow Never Fries. (We did mention he loves James Bond)
Here are the finished rocks.

| We hope you enjoyed watching us create this super easy craft. The supplies needed were Rocks Decorative Glass or Acrylic Rocks (found at local Dollar Store) Liquid Nails Adhesive (hardware store) |
