Strawberry Rock Painting

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the rock

   Wash and dry your rock. A rock shaped like a rounded triangle or heart works perfectly for a strawberry. The pointed end will be the bottom of the berry.

2. Paint the berry red

   Paint the entire rock with bright red acrylic paint. Apply two coats for a rich, even strawberry color. Let each coat dry completely before adding the next.

3. Add the seeds

   Using yellow or white paint and a toothpick or fine brush, add tiny oval-shaped seeds all over the red surface. Space them evenly in diagonal rows for a realistic strawberry look.

4. Paint the green top

   At the wider end of the rock, paint a green cap with small leaf-shaped points extending outward like a star. This is the strawberry calyx. Make 5-6 small pointed leaves.

5. Finish and seal

   Once everything is dry, you can add a tiny green stem at the very top. Spray with clear sealant to protect your strawberry rock. It looks good enough to eat!

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.
