I wanted to create something different to showcase in my room and then I stumbled upon something new to my eyes. I saw a project that repurposed rocks into aesthetically pleasing art. A simple do it your self-project that is low budget and can be made with common house materials. Friendly to those who are not experienced in growing and maintaining plants and expansive potential for creativity, this project brings a different type of life to a room.

Supplies

Rocks (flat large smooth stones were used in this project)

Clay pot (4-inch)

Pot filling (small variety pebbles were used to fill up the pot)

Paints (acrylic was used)

Paint brushes

Step 1: Decide a Theme

The first step is to know your goal and what you want to create. For this project I wanted to bring a desert feel and vibes to my room.

Step 2: Gather Your Materials

For this step, you want to have your materials set up so they are ready to be used.

Step 3: Fill Up Your Pot

We want to fill up the pot just like a plant needs soil in the pot. I used small pebbles to fill up the pot. For my desert theme these small pebbles will look well with the painted rocks I want to create.

Step 4: Pick Your Canvas

In this step, you will decide the best canvases for your theme. Flat smooth stones will work perfect to be painted.

Step 5: Add Base Color

Using the acrylic paint and painting brushes, apply your paint and create a base color for your theme. I add variations of green tones to make the color stand out from each other. Apply to all sides of the rock.
