Rock Decoration with Inkjet Printout
We have been getting our garden ready for summer, and with that wanted to create a beautiful rock decoration to dot around. I love painting rocks but this can be very time-consuming.
I wanted some really quick and easy painted rocks that could be in my garden almost immediately.
Using an inkjet printer and some PVA glue I decorated these rocks in a matter of hours. It really is a simple and fun afternoon craft. This method could be used with any design. Why not create them together with children in their favourite character.

HOW TO - Rock Decoration with Inkjet printer
Step 1
Print Out Image
Print your chosen picture and cut. Try to leave as little border as possible, especially if your rock is not white.
Step 2
Paint Your Rock
I put 2 coats of white acrylic paint on my rock decoration. Leave to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Step 3
Rock Decoration with Inkjet Printout
Paint a thin layer of pva glue onto the rock.
Position picture on to rock, then smooth out creases and make sure the edges are properly stuck down.
Step 4
Sealing the Image onto The Rock Decoration
To seal the image I used Clear spray acrylic sealant. I have found this to be the best option to avoid the image ink running.
