We’ve been seeing lots of fun and creative rock art in our Pinterest feed lately, so we decided it was time to share a few of our favorites! A few years back we rounded up even more DIY decorative rocks, so today we’re so excited to revisit the topic and see what new ideas and techniques have popped up since then. We’ll also be sharing a few of our own DIY painted rocks in the next little while, so keep your eyes peeled for that! In the meantime, let these amazing rocks inspire you!

What a fun mix of patterns, kind words, and pictures! Ness and her kids decorate rocks and then hide them in a local park (they call this a “rock drop”) to brighten a stranger’s day.

This technique looks like such a fun way to add super bright colors to plain rocks. These rainbow pour-painted rocks are show-stoppers, don’t you think?
