A Mandala is a symbol in a dream, representing the dreamer’s search for completeness and self-unity. I think these colorful designs are beautiful painted on these river rock. They make great paper weights and look awesome simply placed in a basket in your home!

If you’ve never picked up a paint brush, here’s your chance to start with something very simple. Acrylic paints are really inexpensive and rocks are very easy to find. I’ve been painting all kinds of things on rocks for quite some time now and I’ve given them away as gifts to a lot of people…they just love them!

I’ve found many rocks that are shaped like hearts and I’ve collected them and painted different designs on them. I have them in a grouping on top of one of my shelves and they make great accent colors in my home! I’ve also painted other things such as dogs, owls, flowers and sayings on rocks. It’s a lot of fun and a great hobby. Kids love to do this too!

A lot of people sell these painted rocks on Etsy, so when you feel confident enough, you can sell them on there too! The sky’s the limit on what you can paint on rocks, so just use your imagination. Also, check out painted rocks on Etsy and Pinterest and you’ll get all kinds of great ideas!

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
