Robin, those are so cute! That's a project I plan to do with my young nieces and nephews when they come up in December. Thanks for the great tutorial!

I love ladybugs so I'm interested in trying some of these. Always thought I would try a ladybug bowling ball, but what I say and what I do are two different things.

Thanks all. I love these little bugs and I want to do the bowling ball one too.

Robin,

I was wondering how the white spray paint adheres to the glass? Do you use a special type?

No I use plain Walmart brand. These won't be out in th weather since they are actually to wear or for a fridge. They last for quite a while when used normally. I would imagine if someone used it for a worry stone, the paint might not last too long. If you are using rocks then I would recommend using an outdoor kind of paint.

This photo was taken at the family cottage in western PA last weekend. I had help from my great niece and great nephew with the painting


This is the only photo I have of some of the finished products. Please ignore the background! You can see that the kids and I like dots. One of my co-workers told me to put some paint on a sponge, and use the eraser to make the spots.



Thanks for all of the suggestions and help! ~Jan

PS- there were a LOT of adults helping me imbibe,! I was hesitant about posting it because of the bottles, but the rock critters have already gone to their 'new' homes

Very nice Jan...What a wonderful time you had with your great niece and nephew

Love those family memories

We had a great time, and this year the weather was absolutely fantastic. Thanks! ~Jan

Those are fantastic and such fun making them. Great job. Who cares about all the bottles, sometimes I wish I had a couple of them.

Your turtle and lady bug turned out great!!!

I see some rooting bottles in that photo!

Oh absolutely! Everything up there is recycled in some way, shape or form - and yes, candle holders, rooting bottles and vases count as recycling

I also spent part of that weekend planting iris & heirloom daylilies that I have been collecting up at that cottage
