Love Grows Here

Welcome to Pink Glitter!

I am so glad you stopped by.......

Today I want to share a fun, easy project that you

can make for your garden or flower bed!

While I was gathering up the materials

for this project, I decided to make two of them.....

one for me and one for a sweet bride 

that I've had the pleasure of knowing since she was

a little girl!

Come on upstairs to my craft area Glitterinas!

Let's start on our garden stones!

You'll need:

a flat rock, size is your choice

 paint, color of your choice

Sharpie marker

polyurethane spray, to protect your project from the weather

Clean off your flat rock.  I just put mine

in the sink and washed it off and let it dry.

Paint an area that will be the background

for the words you write on the garden stone.

I think an irregular edge painted area will 

look best for this project.

Let the paint dry.

Then decide what phrase you'd like 

to have on the garden stone....

WELCOME

Love Grows Here

Please Don't Eat the Daisies

(Yes, I love Doris Day!)

Grow

Enjoy This Garden

I Love Weeds

Gardeners Have the Best Dirt

etc......

I used a large Sharpie marker to write on

my garden stones.  You might feel more proficient

with a paint marker or brush.

When I finished the writing.....

I added some curlies around 

the edge of the paint.....

....and then because I am a sentimental

ol' gal.....

I added initials and the year to the

garden stone I'm giving away.

Give each stone several, light coats of

polyurethane to protect the paint and writing

if it'll be living outside.

There you have it!

A fun, easy project for your garden, back yard or 

flower bed.....

a painted garden stone!

I think my garden stone will live here.....

by the large barrel of rosemary.

Or, may be here.....

by the backyard sidewalk.

Love Grows Here!

Speaking of love....

I love that you take time to visit me here at Pink Glitter!

I love each comment and question you leave for me!

Thanks bunches, Glitterinas!

Until next time,

Tammy
