Summer is almost over, back to school- and its a rainy weekend- can’t get to the park or the city….still lots of fun time to share. Forecast for tomorrow is rain…..a great time to stay at home and inspire your kids’ and your own creativity and get a little dirty!!
Make a Pebble Owl Family that represent each person in your family and then line them up on a windowsill to keep watch or by the front door to great friends when they visit. Either way the kids and going to have so much fun making these adorable pebble owls and so will you.
Material:
large smooth pebbles – white acrylic paints – paintbrushes – colored paints – brush or felt-tip pens – varnish
Make sure your pebble is clean and dry. Decide which side is going to be the front of the owl and paint it with a base coat of white . Let it dry.
Paint or draw an owl on your pebble – start with the eyes by painting them in flower shapes with a heart shape behind them for a retro look (groovy). Then draw wings, and decorate with spots, stripes or flowers.
If you like, you can give your owl a coat of varnish for extra shine. Make a few more owls in the same way and set them up on a bedroom shelf, use as paperweights or give as gifts to friends and family.
Try to find pebblles with flat bottoms, so they can stand on their own.
The sun will be out before you know it, so just have fun.
