On A Rock, What Shall I Write?

This video tutorial demonstrates how to create hand lettered rocks using newspaper, a paper letter stencil, and exterior latex paint. The process involves placing the rock on a sheet of newspaper, holding the stencil over the rock, and painting inside the stencil outlines with exterior latex paint. The video also covers four different ways to write on rocks, including spacing and lettering styles.

To begin, gather supplies such as permanent markers and rocks, with Sharpies being the most common pen used. Hand lettering a single word is the best way to learn how to write on rocks. This can be done for small rocks as decorative knickknacks or large rocks for outdoor decor.

The rough surface of most rocks prevents the use of Sharpies, so it’s important to choose the type of rock that will fit your designs best. Keep the design positive, as you never know who might stumble upon your word rocks. Paint simple things like smiley faces, hearts, flowers, and polka dots, or focus on your message and leave a little inspiration on the rock.

This rock painting video teaches how to create basic hand lettering on your rocks, such as kindness rocks perfect for beginners. Short messages can include “Here comes the sun”, “choose to be happy”, “hope you are OK”, “am grateful”, “thankful”, “inhale exhale”, and “inspire kindness”. Starting with a chorus verse can help you get started.
