Rocking Heart Craft

Even though Mother’s Day is over (and even more so than Valentine’s Day) there are still plenty of reasons to make this adorable heart-shaking craft!

It will be a great handmade gift for mothers, family members and friends!

This is a fun project for all ages – you can create simple designs with larger pebbles with preschoolers (like a heart shape here, maybe a house, circle, squares..) or create more complex designs with small stones that can even be more than one color with older kids – the end result will always be great (even if things don’t work out). out as planned).

Get your hands on this heart-shaking craft

What you need

canvas (we plan to make an old painting) or cardstock
gravel
colors for canvas and stones – acrylic colors are very effective – for stones we use acrylic spray – because this way we color all the stones in one minute
brushes for painting canvas (sponge brushes always win)
school glue

Start by coloring the canvas and the stone (you can also leave it in a natural color, depending on the stone color it can turn out really cool).

When everything dries, apply a generous amount of white glue to the canvas and start placing the pebbles. The school glue will take quite a while to dry this way but it is strong enough to hold the pebbles in place once dry!
