Painting on Stones Is a Craft That Rocks!
Here are some other supplies to have on hand: Paints All kinds of craft, water-based, or acrylic paints work well for rocks. One downside of acrylics is that they tend to be difficult to wash out of clothes, so be careful when using them. Test out your paint on paper before painting your rock to make sure you don't have any surprises with consistency or color. Fine Point Markers These are great for adding details that can be tricky to do with brushes, especially on smaller stones. Marker Paints These are perfect if you like the control of a marker but the look of a paint. Mod Podge or other sealer You'll want to use a sealer to make sure your creations last for a long time. Magnet backings For if you want to use your finished stones as magnets! Newspaper or Other Protective Covering for Your TablePaint Palette You can either purchase a paint palette or make one out of a paper plate, a piece of cardboard covered in foil, or something similar.

The word Christmas (or Christ's Mass) comes from the Old English name 'Cristes Maesse' - Christ's Mass - and is the celebration of the birth of Jesus. Christmas is a truly magical season, bringing families and friends together to share the much loved customs and traditions which have been around for centuries. What day is the main Christmas celebration in Britain? Christmas is celebrated on the 25th December, with a Christmas dinner at midday for the whole family. © copyright of projectbritain.com How do the British prepare for Christmas? During the weeks before Christmas Day, we send cards, watch nativity plays and go to carol services.
