Equipment
12 River Rocks, Wider on top or shaped like strawberries
Using the 1" brush, paint 3 coats of red paint allowing for drying time between each coat.
Red Craft Paint
Once the red paint has dried, use the angled brush to paint two coats of green on the top of each rock to simulate the strawberry cap. If desired, paint individual leaves down the front of each rock. Allow each coat to fully dry before adding another coat.
Green Craft Paint
Using the tip of the foam brush, dab yellow paint onto the red to simulate strawberry seeds. Allow to fully dry.
Yellow Craft Paint
On the top of each yellow dot, dab a tiny black dot. Allow to dry.
Black Craft Paint
Once fully dry, spray each rock with clear coat to protect from harsh weather.
Krylon Spray Clear Glaze
Add to your garden near your strawberry plants to act as a deterrent for birds that love strawberries.
