  • Small brushes Small brushes For painting the stones

Instructions

Preparation

  • Start by painting each stone white and let them dry completely. This white base will make your rainbow colors pop.
  • Once the stones are dry, add dots or bands of rainbow colors to the stones while they are still slightly wet. This will allow the colors to blend better.
  • Use a toothpick to swirl the colors together, creating a lovely marbled effect. Look for the bright, swirling patterns that appear as you mix.
  • Allow the stones to dry thoroughly and then seal them with clear varnish for a shiny finish. This not only protects the paint but also gives the stones a smooth, glossy look.
