Rainbow themed Shrinky Dinks!

I found out about Shrinky Dink two weeks ago when browsing Pinterest and immediatialy thought that using it would be a perfect fit for Share a Rainbow Day ideas! I've never tried it before as I can't remember having it in my country, Brazil, when I was a kid. WOW! To watch that piece of shrink plastic into the oven getting smaller and harder and then becoming a 3D trinket to treasure forever it's soooooo fun! To celebrate Share a Rainbow Day, I created a kawaii inspired rainbow clip art to be downloaded for free! Supplies Needed (Affiliate links for your convenience): Shrink Dink sheets Hole punch Scissor Black marker Neon Pencil set Moonlight Gelly Roll Click HERE to download the Shrinky Dink Template How to prepare: Print out the template.

Ombré Rocks for Drop a Rock Day 2019!

I'm super excited to start painting rocks to our International Drop a Rock Day 2019, an original idea by Word Rocks Project ! As you may have noticed, the word for this year is HARMONY!

Best supplies for rock painting

After 10 years of Word Rocks Project, I always get emails asking: How do I get started painting rocks? Or What are the best supplies? Here is another guide of some good supplies! (affiliate links for your convenience) Markers and pens I always struggle to write words with paint so markers became my best friends when painting rocks. I've tried a lot of them and these are some of my favorite. Poscas Pens are so far my favorite. Paint comes out easily, tips are resistant and perfect for details.

Pit Pens come with four different size tips on the same pen (0,3 mm to 1 mm) and are very practical. . I
