Canada Rocks

posted in: Canada, Whimsy | 11

For Canada Day this year I painted some Canadian flag rocks. Some will be hidden when we go for our daycations and of course some will take a prominent place in the garden.

I made a small template of a maple leaf to trace onto some rocks that were painted white. And then added red stripes on each side of the rock.

Another painted Canadian flag I made a long time ago used 3 flat pieces of rock.

Your flag size is only limited by the size of the stones you use.  How about using three patio stones? or a lot of little ones.

I have frequently seen my images used on other sites with no link back. I realize you are only trying to share an idea, but if you have “borrowed” one of my images please give a link back. At least I put a watermark on my images to prove they are mine.

I also updated my version of a trillium rock, and added the word Ontario to it. The original ones were painted to take on a trip to Victoria, British Columbia and hide.

Another Canadian project I finished off in time to display on Canada Day was a spoon chime made with all the souvenir spoons I have from across Canada.

Make a bit of Canadian flag whimsy by following these directions.

I hide lots of my rocks. They are for you to keep or rehide. You can always leave a comment telling me where you found the rocks. Thanks in advance. I love knowing if my rocks are found and where they end up.

    Your rocks are wonderful! I have a friend who paints and hides rocks around her town, and the finders get so excited when they discover one!
