Rockin' Rock Pet Craft
Your mom will never need to yell at you to feed these fun rockin' rock pets -- and they won't make any obnoxious noises or messes either. Get creative and make a whole zoo of these great rockin' rock pet crafts.
The instructions below will show you how to make a spider rock pet craft.
What You'll Need:
- Smooth, round rock
- Black acrylic paint
- Acrylic gloss medium (optional)
- Two black chenille stems, at least 12 inches long
- Pink dimensional paint (optional)
- Two wiggle eyes
- Paintbrush
- Scissors
- Cool-temp glue gun and glue sticks
- Waxed paper or newspaper
- Tacky glue
Step 1: Find a smooth, round rock that fits nicely in your hand. Wash and dry it.
Step 2: Paint the rock with two coats of black acrylic paint. Let paint dry. Then, if you wish, paint on a final coat of shiny acrylic gloss medium.
Step 3: Cut the chenille stems in half so you have four 6-inch pieces. Curl the ends of each piece to make arched legs. Flatten out the middle of the stems so your rock will fit on top.
Step 4: Cover your work surface with waxed paper or newspaper. Hold the four bent stems together. Apply a generous amount of glue to the flat center area. Set the rock on top of the glue, holding it down until the glue cools.
Step 5: Optional: Using the pink paint, add a smiling mouth. Using tacky glue, attach the wiggle eyes to the front of your spider.
