∴ GARDEN THING ∴

I saw this in a garden in San Francisco and I decided I wanted one! This is a really easy 3 step instructable.

Step 1: GLUE STONES

collect some stones long and thin, and one bigger.
glue the little stones perpendicular to the big one, like in the photo.

Step 2: PAINT EYES (white)

make 2 little dots on each stone with white waterproof paint

Step 3: PAINT EYES (black)

make 2 little dots on each stone with black waterproof paint

Step 4: DONE!

this thing look really nice in the garden

How do I hold the rocks to the base? Glue such us gorilla glue mixed with some kind of paste? Thanks so very much ahead of time! I see the question is asked but I'm not clear on the answer as to the kind of glue/clay/paste (?) and how to get it to hold while drying

I love the rock concert and about to make mine for a family member. How did you make the sign? ( Rock Concert ) and did you glue it to the big rock?

what glue did you use, mine keep falling over, I've tried E6000, and white craft glue, they don't dry before falling. thanks

I live in New England so I’ve had success with waterproof Gorilla Glue. If you’re not familiar with it know they are not kidding when they say it expands to 3x it’s size!! And it’s gradual...so definitely apply just a little....it DOES go along way.

I think I used a brand Pattex waterproof glue, and stones was listed in the material suited for this glue, I found it a Lowe's.

But you may ask to the local hardware store, or look at this glue class here at Instructables for a better advice.

Such a cute project! So simple, yet so lovely! Definitely will try it :)

[marcellahella]

I think I used some pattex glue, that was also for stones

[violetsmuse]

Can't wait to make these but what type of glue did you use???

[Cairnz]

Yep, these are too adorable and I have to make some....if I can find rocks that will work. I also have to make some of your cairns for the yard. I love Cairn Terriers and we've fostered somewhere around 70 since October of 2001. I think cairns of rocks are perfect along with these big-eyed rock clusters. I need to find rocks for the cairns too. ;) You are such a multi-talented person, Marcella and an inspiration.

Thank you very much!

This is absolutely adorable! I like it even without the black eyes painted in. Thank you for sharing.

[marcellahella]

You are welcome

Hi. Thank you for great idea I changed it a little but it was a perfect gift for my sister. I added a "grass" and used gypsum to "glue" it because I didn't have so powerful glue at home. (please excuse my english) :)

[marcellahella]

That's too cute, I like how you made the hair!

Thanks for posting the photo
