Gratitude Stones- Great Way to Use up Left Over Alphabet Stickers!


  This is my favorite time of year!  I love hearing on Facebook what everyone is grateful for. So much that I chose to write it on stone.  This was a fun project for the Kids Arts and Crafts Workshop that I teach weekly through the Waterford Recreation Dept. I hunted down rocks on my property, easy to do on farmland.  I washed them and then used my trusty Craft Heater from CTMH to dry them. The heater actually pulled the moisture out of the rock. It was awesome!! This was also a great way to use up left over alphabet sticker sheets. They placed the letters down and painted a thin layer of acrylic paint over them.  Using the craft heater speeded up the drying process. It is hard to wait to pull those letters off! The heater also came in handy for drying the paint in between layers and so the children didn’t have to take home wet paint! 2012-11-08_11-52-06_98 I would love to know what you have used your left over alphabet stickers for? Please leave a comment and share your idea!
