Who says zombies can’t be colorful and fun! I had such a great time making these zombie painted rocks and they would be a great Halloween craft for kids or adults. You could even give out these zombie painted rocks in place of candy this this year at Halloween!
I created the painted rock zombies using a mixture of acrylic paint and paint markers. Keep reading below for step-by-step instructions and to see the exact supplies I used. 
Zombie Painted Rock Supplies (affiliate links provided for convenience)
- Rocks – There are a ton of options on Amazon for rocks. Below are a few favorites.
- Acrylic Paint
- ARTEZA Acrylic Paint – this is a great option for a variety of colors.
- Artecho Acrylic Paint
- Paint Markers – All of these markers are great options and I use all of them often for rock painting.
- These extra fine Posca Paint pens are a favorite for rock painting details. If you want a smaller set to start check out this 12 color set.
- Tooli-Art Paint pens extra fine tip set of 30 (they also have a smaller set of18 pens).

- Sealant – Lately I’ve been using this sealant for a glossy finish
Zombie Painted Rocks Directions
- Start by painting each rock a different color using acrylic paint. Let dry completely.
- Lightly draw the details of each zombie face using a pencil.
- Use paint markers to add details for the eyes, teeth, brain, worms, etc.
- I also like to outline all the details in black to make them stand out more.
- Once your down you can add a sealant to your rocks to help protect them (see supplies list above).
