Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, we are very much Potter-heads. And one of the best parts of the whole series of books and movies? The pure and unadorned kindness that shines through both Harry and his friends throughout everything they face.

So, I felt inspired to talk about Harry’s innate kindness, and that of his friends, while my kids and I sat down to make these Harry Potter kindness stones together.

Materials

Instructions

  2. Once your stones are completely dry take a pencil and lightly draw on your desired designs, if it intimidates you then just keep it simple.

  4. Once your outline is dry you can begin filling in details, Unless you have a very steady hand I recommend doing all the details of the areas that don’t touch, allow the surface paint to dry and then fill in other colors that touch, this helps reduce bleeding colors together. how to make harry potter painted rocks by filling base with white paint and paint on top
  5. Once all your details are finished and completely seal the stones front and back to help the paint stay in place longer.
