Father's Day Rock Paperweight

June 16, 2011

There is no way dad could resist using this colorful paperweight on his desk to show off your love for him!   

You will need: 

  • 1 rock heavy enough to weight down paper, size of your hand 
  • Acrylic paint 
  • Gold glitter glue 
  • Paintbrush 
  • Acrylic sealer spray 
  • Black marker 

Directions:

  1. Be sure to clean rock with warm soapy water and towel dry.  
  2. Paint entire rock with more than one coat, letting rock dry between coats.  
  3. Paint the entire rock with a thin layer of glitter glue and then let dry.  
  4. Use a squeezable glitter glue bottle to carefully write “DAD ROCKS” on the rock. 
  5. Let dry overnight.  
  6. Use a black marker to outline the letters to make them stand out better.  
  7. Have a grown-up to spray the entire surface of rock with acrylic sealer spray.
