If you haven’t tried painting rocks using puffy paints you need to put it on your crafting must try list. The best part about using puffy paints on rocks is that you can use them not only to create dimensional rock painting designs, but they can also be used to create beautiful gradient backgrounds. The key though is that not all puffy paints are created equal. What I love about Tulip Dimensional Fabric Paints are the tips! They are the perfect size and small enough for creating intricate designs even on a small canvas like a rock. Painting rocks with Puffy Paint

Step 1: Start by covering your rock with two coats of white acrylic paint.

Add an additional layer or two of each color to make the background more opaque. Rock Painting with Puffy PaintsStep 3: Add your rock painting designs to the rock using the Tulip dimensional puffy paint.
