Rock Painting Tissue Paper Technique How to put ANY image on a rock!

[@debbietramundanas6518]

I love this idea! I am part of a group that paints rocks and hides them for people to find! I like that this is quick and easy! I like to put sayings on my rocks, but have a hard time painting words and this is a great way to add sayings or pretty words to my rocks! Thank you for this fun tutorial!

[@JenEvers]

You are so welcome! YES!! Now you can just print them out and paint/glue them right on and Voila!! Have fun and thank you for stopping by today! xoxo Jen

[@1937Me1]

Hi Debbie, please tell me about your rock painting group. I would love to start one.

[@carolinebeltran4721]

Tatoo transfers that have script writing work well on solid painted rocks, if you also seal afterwards works best! Check out at craft shops. 😉 Hope that helps

[@noodlefire64]

Great idea! I’ve just printed 40 designs for rocks I’m going to hide round Newcastle! I found that putting a layer of PVA glue on the back of the image too helped to make it stick better to the rock 🙌

[@JenEvers]

Sounds great! I totally agree with the layer behind! Thank you for the comment. I appreciate you watching! xoxo Jen

[@georgiacorey954]

Cute. Here is a tip, if you havent fugurwd it out yet. Put Mod Podge on surface 1st, then place down image, then more Mod Podge on top.

[@waukonstandard]

I use Varathane brand Polyurethane (water based - so it dries non sticky!) to seal my rocks to leave outdoors. A lot of people who paint rocks then leave the treasures around public areas for others to find and enjoy. Great idea Jen. Thanks for sharing!

[@JenEvers]

Sounds good! Thanks for letting me know what you use! I'm not sure I'll be putting them outdoors yet, but you never know! xoxo Jen

[@mddell58]

starwolf539 I've never heard of that product. Is it more expensive, OR less, than standard mod podge? Thank you!

[@waukonstandard]

I got a 1/2 pint of it from my local home improvement for under $3. I use it to seal rocks, beads, paintings, etc. I bought it last year and I still have a few ounces lefts to it goes really far!

[@spiderstone]

Real neat.! Nice job.....

[@janwenz4739]

Laurie Richard - starwolf539 If you use this product for sealing painted rocks, do they hold up in the outdoor elements without pealing or fading.

Jen, I am in love with your video!! Going to have a craft night with my grandkids!! I was wondering if anyone has tried to print photos, (like a family photo) and put it on a rock? I wanted to do this for my kids for Christmas and put their family photos on some bigger rocks? Would love to hear from anyone that may have tried that?????

[@JenEvers]

Thank you so much Terry! Have a blast! You can print anything you like on there! Family photos would work well too :) Give it a try!!

It’s so cute! The bubbles really completes it!!!

[@mddell58]

*So adorable, especially adding those bubbles!!* I've been following a lady on KZbin, she only uses beautiful napkins & tissue wrapping paper with mod podge. Sigh. I can't think of her name. She creates some lovely items. Instead of printing an image onto the napkin & paper, she purchases all the gorgeous packs of napkins, (the type we use at birthday & house warming parties) tears the part out that she wants to be seen on item, gently *separates the two layers of napkin away from each.* She'll then proceed to do what you did, ONLY using the one layer with print on it. I asked her once, "Why not just fussy cut the image out?" She said it'll give it the item a totally different look if that was done. I'll try to locate her name, OR a good example of her videos, & add it above. I'd have NEVER thought of any of these things. I was happy to see you & your tutorial on my notification list last night. Thank you, Jen. :-) Have a lovely day. ♡

[@JenEvers]

Thanks bunches! I've heard of using the napkins before as well, I just am not a collector of napkins! lol I love that I can use my original art on my rocks! xoxo Jen

[@mddell58]

You can also just "cut" with water....paint a line of water around the area you want to cut the tissue and it will tear very nice and thin!

Great idea thanks. Wondering if there is any reason you didn't mod podge the rock 1st then put the image into the rock and then more mod podge? I am thinking tissue paper will allow the mp to seep though and keep it sticking down pretty well? Loving the octo he is adorable.

[@JenEvers]

It sure did as you saw! Thanks for watching! xoxo Jen

Cut out pieces of fabric works wonderful as well..... there are so many cute prints out there to use. Kids prints of cartoon characters etc. I cut very close to the edge of the design, mod podge the rock first, place fabric, smooth out. once dry I put another layer of mod podge...... very fast project

[@JenEvers]

Hey June, thank you for the nice thoughtful comment! xoxo Jen

[@lovingindianriver]

Thank you. Should I put modge podge down first and then again? What I'm trying to make with tissue paper is a memorial rock for my friend, Her son was killed by a drunk driver and he has a memorial plaque at the side of the road. I'm praying the picture of her son will adhere to tissue paper and stay on rock. I thought it would be a beautiful addition to her memorial.

[@JenEvers]

Yes, I've been told that if you put mod podge under and on top it's better. However, I feel that the tissue paper is thin enough that it will automatically soak through. Good luck with it, be wary of inks running. Make sure your media is super dry and permanent. I love the idea, you're so sweet! xoxo Jen

[@asmith5799]

Nice video. I tried to use modge podge a picture printed on inkjet to a painted brick. the colors bled. I waited 30 minutes for it to dry. is there another way to transfer the picture?

[@carolmccollum9341]

@@asmith5799 Not sure, but maybe it needs to be a laser printer... Does anyone know for sure??

[@chuckmarr4778]

Maybe you can use an artist fixative on the tissue image to eliminate the bleeding of the color.

How do you know where they travel to? Do you put something on it? Thanks for letting me know! xoxo Jen

[@deannagoldie9240]

Jen Evers yes! Each county in the state. Has a Facebook page/ group. If they are participating in the paint and hide a rock. On the back you put your group name. Or you county and state. Ever who finds it takes a picture of it and post it to that group. Then you rehide it for someone else to find to brighten there day. Spreading happiness and fun!

[@deannagoldie9240]

My group is #rocknbc. My near by group also is mt.sterling ky rocks. I'm in Kentucky. On Facebook. Search them and you'll see a lot of people doing it around the United States.

[@craftywomansix]

Not sure about rocks but when I've mod podged I have more success if I put glue down first..then the tissue..then glue over it. It's worth a try so there are no bubbles or scrinchies.

I got those tips from others as well, but I didn't have any issues with either. The tissue is so thin it went right through! :) TFW! xoxo Jen

Now this I could do with the tissue paper. I can't draw, but a group of church women got together last Thursday and painted rocks. It was so relaxing and fun. We also tried it with finger nail polish that you swirl in water and then dip the rock in the swirl and it lays it right over the rock. It was a lot of fun, but think this would be more fun. TFS!

Hi! I just watched your video, thx for the tutorial. I can't wait to try out the technique. I have a couple of questions though. I want to print my company's logo on the rocks and I want it to be waterproof/water resistant. How do I make sure that the image won't get ruined in the rain outdoors? What products do I use? thx a million:)

[@JenEvers]

Hi Magda :) Thanks for watching! I've heard of folks using Rustoleum spray, but if it were me, I'd stick to Mod Podge outdoor. I've not personally used a waterproofer for my rocks since I keep them indoors. Good luck! xoxo Jen

[@woollie2002]

Definitely use the rustoleum clear coat spray to protect it from the elements!

[@maryspringer1442]

resin! but dont use watercolors they fade outdoors. Resin makes it so pretty colors pop so does any glitter or eye shadow used..it seals everything in rock solid even little gems. and it looks like glass! You could also use that Krylon/ Rustoleum sealant too..I use that oftne its not as good as resin but does the job..seals everything in well and rocks still look the same years later outside. Modge podge also carrys a waterproof dishwasher safe sealant similar to the one she used in the video. You can use that too, though I do not know if certain mediums used like watercolors would fade over time..have to look it up.

[@HeidiLilley]

soooo stinking cute, definitely going rock hunting, and these would be so cute to hide on the edges of the beach or on a hiking trail ... but make sure to put your initials and the date on the bottom so whoever finds them has a piece of you to keep !!!

You could also put a strong magnet on them for the fridge and other places if they aren't too large. Endless fun! Post your makes at the FB group, I'd love to see them! xoxo Jen

[@gavott2739]

can you use liquid pva glue instead of modge podge?

Kat Wubbenhorst They will hold up just fine outside, but you need to spray them with a clear acrylic spray like Krylon, after you finish. The Mod Podge doesn't hold up against the elements. If you don't like using spray paint, there is a product called "Triple Thick" that is brush on. It is made by DecoArt Americana and is usually on the bottom shelf under the acrylic craft paints at Michaels or Hobby Lobby.(Whatever you use, you will need to coat all sides of the rock)

Hey Kat! I see Debbie gave you a full answer, and thankfully!! Cause now I've learned more about it too. :) Have fun! xoxo Jen

[@JenEvers]

I can't wait to try this

[@JenEvers]

Super fun! I hope you can find the time :) xoxo Jen

You can set the rocks on a plastic cup from Walmart and less paint mess :) how do you get the design on the tissue paper? I probably missed that part apologies 😂

[@JenEvers]

Oh great idea, the cup! I printed this on tissue paper that was taped to a piece of either printer paper or cardstock. Either way, it was super easy! :) xoxo Jen

[@maureendevlin4070]

How will that work out side.?

[@ejtoy60]

How light fast is this project? Are you putting this outside in the weather?

[@JenEvers]

HI Ellen! I'm not sure how lightfast it is since I wasn't planning on putting mine outside. I sent it to a friend who was going to keep it in her craft room. xoxo Jen

I've been on a rock painting rampage. So many cute ones! I can't get any bubbles but figured out a way to make them by simply using my glue gun.

[@JenEvers]

Excellent idea lashes! Join our community group and show off your makes! facebook.com/groups/482869948452165/ xoxo Jen

Could put your stamped image on the back. If it gets kicked over it will have an image with a surprise on the other side.

[@JenEvers]

You could if it's flat enough. have fun! xoxo Jen

Is it possible to purchase the image in color?

[@JenEvers]

You sure can, Purchase the one in the store and then send me a message and I'll email you the colored version :) xoxo Jen

[@kdnkdd]

How cute and adorable. Would a spray sealant have helped to keep the ink from running?

[@JenEvers]

Yep, if used outside, there are comments on this video that people have shared what to use in that case. I don't use mine outside so Mod Podge will hold, but sprays and sealants have been suggested! xoxo Jen

[@tiasmom6225]

Very, very cute!

[@JenEvers]

Thank you! xoxo Jen

[@SilverScreenJean]

Can I use white gesso to pre- treat the rocks instead of white acrylic paint?

[@JenEvers]

Absolutely, I don't see any reason why not! xoxo Jen

[@lizabrown8276]

I've always put a layer of modpodge under the image first. It help avoid air pockets. This is adorable, though.

[@JenEvers]

Thanks for watching! xoxo Jen
