Applying Salt to Rocks (Two Ways!)

Kid-Friendly:

2. Apply colored salt generously, using additional top coat to further secure the salt. 

3. Continue layering until covered.

4. Add an optional dusting of glitter and use gold metallic paint to add designs to your rock.

Glue Gun Method:

1. Choose your rock and apply a small amount of hot glue on one side.

2. Apply colored salt generously to hot glue, repeat in sections until the side is covered.

3. Add an optional dusting of glitter and use gold metallic paint to add designs to your rock.
