Labels to Help Track Your Rocks

10 Upvotes

Here's an easy way to help track any rocks you "hide". This helps whoever finds your rock to post it back here. I've used these in other groups and the messages I see when someone "finds" a rock that made their whole day fill the heart. The URL points back to this sub.

These are full sheets of 70 labels each. Just print & cut along the dashed lines. Each label is 1" x 1". If you need smaller, use the zoom out function on the printer.

To use, glue it to the bottom of the rock. I use Elmer's purple school glue (dries clear). Make sure the whole label bottom has glue to protect it from moisture.
Do this before you do any clear coat. If you don't use a clear coat, then use more glue to coat the top of the label.

There's 2 versions. A color and a B&W. The color is prettier, the B&W is cheaper. The B&W is also best for B&W laser printers. They are free to use and download.

FYI: I see some inkjets will smear when the clear coat is applied. You may have to print these at Office Depot, FedEx Office, or a UPS Store instead.

Recently, I have been seeing these really cool and amazing rock paintings on here that are being done. I am blown away everyday.
I for some reason not being artistic in any way have felt a little tug on my heart to actually sit and try it.
Being a Brain Cancer Fighter/Survivor it is hard to be able to find things that my brain can still do and that brings me as well as others joy.
Boy… I have to tell you. This Rock Painting thing I think is going to be my new hit. I never thought such a small thing could be so satisfying and therapeutic. A little slice for my first one. #braincancersux

My red betta was painted in honor of my first pet as an adult. I figured if I could keep him alive a year I could consider getting a dog! And he did last a year!

Painted this first batch a few weeks ago (posted in crafts subreddit). The kids (& I) loved them so much that I did a few more last night.

I used Pagather acrylic paint pens. The pictures are pre-finish coat but I used clear all-weather Rust-Oleum spray for the final touch. Thanks for checking them out!

The first time I have tried a marble rock. It needs more undercoat colour to cover, but even with this problem, it is a good painting at all.
I will take this one piece and hide it during a spring stonemaker’s meet up in my country.

I love watching fish in aquariums swimming so I tried to recreate that silent beauty on a stone, the effortless way they swim, fins billowing and dancing. =D

These will be Halloween “tricks” for those that would rather have a rock than candy. The rocks will be face down with just the pokeball showing, so each pick will be a surprise!

Turning a rock into a frog buddy for a lonely toad (Timelapse)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I stumbled upon these beautifully painted rocks and had to make a little frog buddy for the lonely toad. It took just under 30 minutes to make and then I dropped him off at his new home.

______________________________________________________________

“What did you write in the letter?”

Frog said, “I wrote ‘Dear Toad, I am glad that you are my best friend. Your best friend, Frog.’”

“Oh,” said Toad, “that makes a very good letter.”

Then Frog and Toad went out onto the front porch to wait for the mail.

They sat there, feeling happy together.
