I’m back with another Garden DIY blog. However, this one is a bit different, I’m going to show (3 WAYS) how to transform your plain rocks and pebbles in your garden-there are some ideas I found while browsing the internet and I re-created them. Hope you enjoy!
P.S. they sound a bit odd written down but I’ve added some images as they look way cooler than they sound.
The first one is super simple. All you need is gloss pain in the colours red, green, blue, brown, yellow, orange and white. Paint your rocks or pebbles with these colours. The paint an M on the the rock or pebble. Now you have your own garden MnMs.
The next one is also quite fun yet easy. All you need to do it paint the rocks, then add eyes. Now you can put up a sign that reads: ROCK CONCERT.
This one also requires planks of wood. You just need to pour your pebbles on to the ground, and place the wooden planks on the pebbles, push it down , if you suffer extreme winds you can glue the planks down. This makes a beautiful edgey pathway, especially for small gardens-creating the illusion of a larger garden.
You’ve probably guesses that these work best for small gardens…..
HOPE YOU E NJOYED
HAPPY GARDENING ♥

Steragram, yeah some people dont really like whimsy but I guess the rock concert is good becos its so simple and isnt too "over the top." :)

Nice job for a rainy day. Lots of small amounts of paint
are taken to the recycling centres. Cheep.

Just noticed the brilliant lettering on the rocks - you must have a steady hand!
