Making Stone Ladybug Garden Ornaments

Total Time: 1 hour

Yield: 5 ladybug stones

Supplies:

• round stones
• acrylic paint (red, black, white, blue)
• paint brush

Steps:

1. Throughly clean and dry the stones you find. Paint them with a coat of red paint and allow to dry.

 
2. If the stone has a narrower area, use it to paint on a black semicircle for the face.

 
3. Now paint a straight black line from the middle of the face all the way to the back.

4. Paint a curved triangle on the back. This will create the slight spreading of the ladybug wings.

 
5. Gently dot some black spots onto the back. They can be of varying sizes.

 
6. On the face, use a smaller paintbrush, or flip your brush over and use the narrow tip, to dot on white for eyeballs and blue for pupils.
