Supplies Needed
If you’re a crafter or a rock painter, you likely have all of these items on hand. Be sure to check out my Amazon Rock Painting Shop for my favorite rock painting supplies.
Note: you could wait for a rock with a perfectly shaped chimney or even just paint one on, however, we made our own with polymer clay.
- polymer clay (any color, you will paint it)
- e6000 glue (or another very strong glue; hot glue will not work)
- acrylic paint or paint pens (these are my favorite paint pens)
- paintbrushes and clay tools (optional)
- sealer (we use a wipe-on polyurethane)
How to Make a Rock Painting Gingerbread House
It’s ridiculously easy to make this rock even though it’s gotten more “oohs and ahhs” than I can count.
Gingerbread House Rock Painting Idea for Christmas
This gingerbread house rock painting idea takes painted stones and rock art to a new level! Join us for some Christmas rock painting fun.
Materials
- polymer clay (any color, you will paint it)
- e6000 glue (or another very strong glue; hot glue will not work)
- acrylic paint or paint pens (these are my favorite paint pens)
- sealer (we use a wipe-on polyurethane)
Tools
- paintbrushes and clay tools (optional)
Instructions
- Break off and knead a small piece of polymer clay for a chimney. Mold it to the to top of the rock in the place it will be mounted.
- Using your finger (or a marker tip), create an indention in the chimney.
- Remove the chimney from your rock and bake it per the clay’s instructions. Once cooled, affix the chimney to the rock with e6000 glue.
- Paint the bottom portion a brown color and while it’s drying, paint a stone pattern on the chimney. Accent it and the top of the gingerbread house rock painting with snow. Icicles optional, but I think they’re cute.
- When the brown paint is dry, add on a door, window, and any extras to your gingerbread h0use. Once dry, seal multiple times to protect it
