Still loving the rock painting crafts? I am, because they are so easy and a great way to relieve stress. This craft should be relaxing and you definitely shouldn’t be putting pressure on yourself for perfectly painted rocks. These DIY Easy Rock Gnomes took me no time at all to make and they are the perfect addition to my garden. In fact, I wish I would’ve made more, but that’s just an excuse to make some on another day.

Pick out some long and pointy rocks.

I painted my rocks white first, but you don’t have to do this.

Use the Gorilla Super Glue to glue a pebble “nose” onto the gnome. Let the glue dry completely.


When the nose is glued on, paint your gnomes with craft paint. From the nose up, I painted hats. From the nose down I painted solid colors and a beard. The paint job was so easy and look at how cute these gnomes turned out!

Add a sealer to your gnomes to protect the paint.

We stuck these DIY easy rock gnomes in the garden by an oversized mushroom, that would be perfect for a house. I’m thinking this mushroom will be getting the next makeover in the garden. A fresh coat of paint and a door and some windows will be perfect!
