Tutorial Tuesday - Painted Easter Egg Pebble Door Stop.

Good Morning, welcome to Tutorial Tuesday! Hope you all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed Mother's Day - I shared mine with my firstborn's 6th Birthday, I couldn't ask for a better gift! I spent the day building lots of Lego and enjoying seeing what a lovely boy my first baby is growing into.

Today, still staying with 'Spring is in the Air' themed Tutorials - I will be sharing a lovely Easter Egg Door Stop, (or you can use it as a paper weight etc)...

You will need:

An Easter Egg Shaped Pebble,

Paint in Easter Egg Colours,

Narrow Paintbrushes,

A Pencil,

A Marker Pen,

Newspaper.

Step 1:

Draw your desired pattern onto your pebble using a pencil...

Step 2:

Start painting each section with bright Easter coloured paints, I alternated painting each section to stop the colours mixing into one another. I also used narrow paintbrushes for finer detail...

...Leave these sections to dry.

Step 3:

Paint the other sections and leave to dry...

Step 4:

Flip the pebble over and paint the back...

...and leave to dry.

Step 5:

Give each section another coat of paint to get a nice even coverage then leave to dry...

Step 6:

Take a co-ordinating marker pen and draw over the lines of each section to give definition...

Voilà a fun, pretty Easter Egg Pebble Doorstop - perfect for holding open your back door to let in the Spring air!

You could even use it to brighten up a Garden rockerie, add fun to an Easter Egg Hunt Display or just use it as a seasonal paperweight.

Have fun and see what you could use it for!

Enjoy the rest of the day :)
