Painted Jack-o-Lantern Pumpkin Rocks

I know what your all thinking but Halloween is months away! Well if you don't know by now Halloween is one of my most favorite holidays or celebrations if you will and I'm getting quite excited for the fall weather.

Materials for Painting Pumpkin Rocks rocks acrylic paints (red, yellow, brown and white) ink pens (can be substituted with black acrylic paint) (optional) outdoor varnish if you plan to keep them outdoors

1 — Paint the rocks orange. Don’t use primer for painting rocks, but use a heavy body acrylics for a thick layer in one coat. 2 — Dilute brown paint with water to make it semi-transparent and mark the ribbed structure of the pumpkins’ sides. Use undiluted brown for painting pumpkin stems. 3 — Dilute white and brush it around the ribbed edges, giving them a bit of form. 4 — Add a couple of highlights to the stem as well. 5 — Use ink pens (or a very thin brush with black acrylic paint) to outline the facial features. You can make them look like traditional carved pumpkins or paint funny faces on them.
