Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prepare and sketch
Wash and dry your flat rock. Use a pencil to lightly draw two large upper wings and two smaller lower wings, symmetrically arranged like a butterfly but more rounded and flowing.
-
Paint the wing bases
Paint each wing with a light pastel color - pink for the upper wings and lavender for the lower. Apply two coats for a smooth, even finish. Let each coat dry before adding the next.
-
Add wing veins
Using white paint and your fine brush, paint delicate curved lines radiating outward from the center of each wing - these are the fairy's wing veins. Keep them thin and light.
-
Add sparkle details
Add tiny dots of gold or yellow paint along the wing edges and vein tips for a fairy-dust sparkle. Outline the wings softly with white or a slightly darker shade of the wing color.
-
Seal and display
Let everything dry completely. Spray with clear sealant for protection. Your fairy wings rock will look magical on any shelf or in a garden!
-
Add RoxGeo Code
On the bottom or back of your rock, write ROXGEO.COM followed by a slash and your rock’s unique code (e.g. ROXGEO.COM/ABC123). This lets the finder go directly to your rock’s profile page and log their discovery. If the rock is too small for the full address, write #ROX followed by the code without spaces (e.g. #ROXABC123) — it’s short, easy to search on Google, and leads straight to your rock’s journey page. Use a fine-tip permanent marker or acrylic paint pen, and seal it with clear varnish so the code stays readable through rain, sun, and adventure.
Helpful Tips
- A flat, wide rock gives you the most space for the four-wing design.
- Use a ruler or lightly folded paper to check wing symmetry before painting.
- Pastel pink and lavender together give the most fairy-tale look.
- Gold glitter varnish over the dry wings adds a magical shimmer without needing special paint.
- Try painting a tiny fairy silhouette in the center between the wings for extra charm.
