Before and After Painted Rocks: Christmas Holiday

Now is the time to put Christmas decorations away until next year.

Flip a triangular or heart-shaped stone upside down and it's the perfect shape for Santa's hat and beard.



A kidney-shaped stone worked well for painting Father Christmas.




Rectangular, flat stones were used for each of these Nutcrackers.





A triangular-shaped stone was perfect for a kitty in a Santa hat...




...and a puppy in a Santa hat too.




A round piece of slate and a small, oval stone were glued together to create a melting snowman.
