What's Your Number?



Here is a quick and easy little craft to make for the garden.
You just need a good sized rock, some flat sided gems/marbles and some strong waterproof glue.

I laid out the number on a flat surface first, then transferred it piece by piece and glued it onto the rock.  This rock is standing up but I had laid it flat for glueing and drying. I used Household Goop, it's an all purpose contact adhesive and sealant.  I originally was thinking of adding a clear colour in between all the blue ones but for now have decided to leave it as it.  What do you think?
You could do all sorts of things instead of numbers ... initials, names, short garden quotes and more.  It is only limited by your imagination.


I've got my number, what's your number?
This craft fits in perfectly with Blue Monday.

  4. Hi Queen B, thanks for stopping by for a visit.

    Hi Julie, I was just moving rocks around in the garden and was wondering how to do some mosaics using some some gems from another project, and I thought of doing the numbers. I think you could do names or initials too.
