Helpful Tips:
What kind of rocks work best for snowman painted rocks?
“Caribbean beach pebbles” work really well for rock painting. If you need a large quantity of rocks, you can find them at landscape supply stores or big box hardware stores, like Home Depot.
What type of paint markers should I use for my rock painting snowman?
Both acrylic and oil-based paint markers give excellent coverage for rock painting. Oil paint is more durable when dry, but if you’re keeping your snowman painted rocks indoors (or if you plan to seal your rocks), acrylic paint will work fine.
How else can I decorate my snowman painted on rocks?
Besides paint and pom poms, there are plenty of other items you can use to decorate your painted snowman stones. Here are some ideas:
Add rhinestones to the hat or as part of the face. Twist a pipe cleaner into a cone to make a 3D carrot nose. Glue ribbon around the base of the hat. Use googly eyes instead of paint marker. Make earmuffs with a pipe cleaner and small pom poms, like we did for one of our ping pong ball snowmen.
These snowman painted rocks are the perfect blend of cute, creative, and simple to make. Scatter your snowmen in holiday displays, arrange them in a shadow box, or surprise your kids by hiding them around the house. With so many ways to show off these painted snowman rocks, you’re guaranteed to be rockin’ around the Christmas tree!
