Gnome Rock Painting

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare and plan

   Wash and dry a round or egg-shaped rock. Sketch the gnome layout in pencil: a tall pointed hat taking up the top half, a small round face in the middle, a big fluffy beard covering the bottom, and small feet peeking out.

2. Paint the hat

   Paint the top portion of the rock with red paint for the tall gnome hat. Add a small white pompom at the very tip. Let dry completely.

3. Add the face and beard

   Paint a small peach circle for the face. Below it, paint a large fluffy white beard that covers most of the lower rock. Use dabbing motions with your brush to create a woolly texture.

4. Add eyes, nose, and clothes

   Paint two small black dot eyes and a round red or orange nose on the face. Add a simple blue or green jacket visible on the sides below the beard. Paint tiny boots peeking out at the bottom.

5. Finish and seal

   Add rosy cheek dots and a tiny smile. Let everything dry completely, then spray with clear sealant. Your cheerful gnome rock is ready to guard a garden or brighten a shelf!

6. 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.
