Instructions

  • Start by painting your rocks a bright and light color.
    Paint Rock Blue
  • I picked light blue and yellow so that the colors of the rainbow would pop! You may need two coats of paint.
    Paint Rock Yello
  • Wait until one coat is completely dry before applying the second coat. Let dry completely, and then flip, and paint the other side.
    Let Painted Rock Dry
  • Once the rocks are dry, you can begin painting your rainbow.
