Blarney Stone Craft

In this simple project, a smooth river rock is turned into a small, kissable Blarney Stone.

In southwestern Ireland, there is a very famous stone, called the Blarney Stone. It is located high up in Blarney Castle. If you kiss the Blarney Stone, it is supposed to give you the gift of eloquence.
Supplies needed:
  • A smooth, clean river rock
  • Brush
  • Green paint
  • Glue
  • Markers
  • Glitter, sequins, plastic jewels, googly eyes, bits of yarn, etc.

1.GIF Make sure your rock is clean and dry. Paint the rock green.
2.GIF After the paint is dry, decorate your rock using glitter, sequins, beads, plastic jewels, googly eyes, bits of yarn, or other interesting items.
done.GIF When the paint and glue are dry, add details (like eyebrows, etc.) using markers.

You now have your own small Blarney Stone to help you celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

We're actually going to do that homemade rock/blarney stone craft again this year, except we're going to make dozens of them as dinosaur eggs for Maggie's birthday party!
