What can I decorate my rocks with?


You can decorate your rocks with so many different types of media, check here for information on preparing. 

What you can use:

Rock painting can become expensive, so be mindful and set yourself a budget for starting out then topping up as you go along. Here are some ideas on what you can use:
  • Sharpies - or any permanent marker pen
  • Crayons
  • Acrylic paints
  • Acrylic paint pens eg Posca, Pilot etc
Never use PVA glue as a base layer of your rock, use paints, see here or leave it with a natural background.

Where to purchase your decorating resources:

Where to start? You can find resources for decorating in so many places, but I shall name as many as I can think of here, but remember, there are loads more places:
