Sometimes the most powerful art is quiet… until it isn’t. Today’s craft is subtle but striking: Moon Phase Painted Stones. Perfect for decorating shelves, altars, or even gifting to a fellow night-sky admirer.
You’ll Need
- Smooth flat stones (found or bought)
- Acrylic paint (black + white)
- Small paintbrushes
- Cup of water & paper towel for cleanup
Instructions
- Prep Your Canvas: Wash and dry your stones so paint will adhere.
- Base Coat: Paint each stone black and let dry completely.
- Add the Moon: Use white paint to create each phase of the moon — from new moon to full moon — across separate stones.
- Seal (Optional): Use a clear spray sealant for extra durability.
Why I Love This D.I.Y.
It’s meditative, striking, and connects you to the lunar cycle. Plus, each stone becomes a tiny piece of night sky you can hold in your hand.
