How To Make Story Stones:What’s Needed:
How To Make:After gathering all of the supplies, rinse the stones with warm water until all of the powder has been removed. Then, set the stones on a towel and let them to dry completely.
Next, use a pencil to sketch the design onto the stone. You can use stencils or draw the pictures by hand. Then, use paint pens to color the stones. You may want to use a black paint pen to outline the painted picture to make it stand out more too. If you would like to protect your stones so they can be used over and over through the years, use a spray sealer to protect the paint.
While the paint is drying, you can also create a small canvas bag to store your story stones. You can write or use an alphabet stencil to paint words onto the canvas bag.
