I’ve actually read some suggestions that have said you only need to smother weeds for a few weeks.
This is a great way to make them cute, put them to use, and even get them back outside again!.This project was quick and fairly simple, perfect for little attention spans.. You start off by painting the rocks in your choice of color.
We used Patio Paints made by DecoArt because they’re made to go outside and be weather resistant.You could always use regular paint though and cover them with some kind of a sealer too.The paint takes about 15 minutes to dry..
If you want to let your kids go wild with this, but don’t want your garden to look like a rainbow threw up in it, then do what I did!Only bring out a few colors of paint for this project.
That way, no matter what kind of creations your kids come up with, it will still be a look you love.
I used a couple of different fresh greens, and a white.. After the paint has dried, it’s time to write the names of the things you’re growing onto your rocks.I used my staple gun to attach the fabric at the corners first and then added a few more in the middles for good luck..
The staples and stitches got covered up with a little grosgrain ribbon glued all around.. Then I had a stool!One more piece of the kitchen puzzle falls into place!.
I ended up freshening the finish on the top of the stool a bit too.Just a quick sand, some stain and two coats of poly.
