We really love using rocks for fun kids crafts and other projects, and they make the perfect base for making DIY photo stands.

We are excited to present to you this amazing photo stand that you can create using rocks and some other simple materials. It is super easy to make and super fun too.

If you’re looking for a classy project, just make decorative ice, but for a fun and cute look, be sure to add puppets too.

So let your child run outside, pick up some rocks, wash them with soap, let them dry, and they are ready to tackle this project.

How to make a shaking puppet photo stand

What you need:

  • a palm sized stone
  • a velvet stick
  • two 1/8 velvet bars
  • straw
  • a big pom pom

  • a small pom pom
  • low temperature glue gun or glue dots
  • a paper clip
  • half ice cream stick
  • Acrylic paint color of your choice
  • a cotton swab
  • two bulging eyes

And let’s start crafting!

Step by step instructions

Take a cotton swab and wrap it around your little finger to form a spiral.

Then open it up a little, apply some glue to the cotton twist stick and stick it on top of the rock.

Apply a little glue to the large pom-pom…

…and put the bulging eyes up.

Apply a little glue to the small shuttlecock…
