How To Make Cactus Painted Rocks

As we have mentioned this is a very simple project. The important thing will be to locate the correct shaped rocks. You want a nice smooth surface. You should wash and dry them thoroughly so you have a nice clean surface to paint on.

It’s suggested that you use Green Acrylic Paint. Once you have painted your rocks green, leave them to dry completely. You can then decorate using white paint or a permanent white marker. You can use dots, lines, stars to create effects like shown above.

Anything goes. It would be a good idea at this point to scroll our page in its entirety and check out all the Cactus variations. This will provide you with plenty of inspiration.

Another way to get some color into your project and give it a real Mexican flavor is to paint up your Clay Pots. This really brightens them up and they look great grouped together.

The more colorful the better and remember, you can pop these outside in your entertaining areas too. A sealant will preserve the color in your rocks.

We also think they look great in a plain Clay Pot. The terracotta color combined with the green painted stones is very striking. As these photos show, anything goes!

We came across these amazing examples from the talented Artist Michela Bufalini who is clearly very talented.  We love the variety in her pots and they look wonderful grouped together.

They also look stunning with painted white clay pots. This is a very fresh look and would work well if you want to put on shelves or countertops in your kitchen.

The Blogger has rounded out her trio of pot with a pale blue and yellow and grouped together they are striking to say the least. Always group 3 together for luck!

You can also make your Painted Cactus Rocks in Mini or Large versions or make an assortment and group them together. They also make the perfect house warming gift!
