How to make watermelon painted rocks

watermelon painted rocks instructions

Begin by washing and completely drying the rocks.

Using a pencil, draw a stripe around the circumference of the rock close to the widest part of the rock to form the watermelon rind.

Mix 2 parts green with 1 part white paint and paint the stripe. Let it completely dry. Repeat with an additional coat of paint for full coverage.

After your previous paint is dry, paint a narrow stripe over top of the lower half of the previous stripe in green.

Next paint the bottom part of the rock for the rind in the darker green.

Paint the top part of the rock with a red color.

Now take a black paint pen and paint small black seeds all over the red portion of the painted watermelon rocks. 

Finally repeat the painting steps on the back side of the rock.
