Following on from our last Herdy Decorative Rocks How-to, we have created a spooky halloween painted rocks tutorial to keep you and the la’al ’uns busy over the half term holiday!
Choose from a Ghost, Witch, Pumpkin, Dracula, Frankenstien, or Little Devil… WoooOOOOOoooOOoooOOOoo!
What you need to make Herdy Halloween painted rocks
Scissors;
pencil;
white, orange, purple, green, white, red, and pink paint (we suggest acrylic paint or vinyl matt tester pots from your local DIY store, as kids paints can blur when applying a top coat of varnish);
paint brushes;
colouring pens;
thin black pen;
clear varnish.
How to make Herdy Halloween decorative rocks
1. Paint your pebbles. We chose three of our Herdy “Halloweeny” colours - green, orange and purple. Allow to dry.
2. Print off a copy of the “Herdy Avatar” characters, and cut out a spooky character.
3. Draw the Herdy character shape onto your pebble with a pencil, then paint the shape with the relevant colour paint - allowing to dry between colours so they don’t run.
4. When all the paint is dry, draw in the lines and detail with a fine black pen, then give a thin coat of clear varnish to weather proof the pebble once the pen and paint is dry.
5. Write a message of your choosing. If you include “#herdy”, we can reshare the people who find the rocks and post photos of them online with the hashtag! Also feel free to make your own Herdy designs.
6. Send us a photo of your pebble and decide where you fancy hiding it.
