Colorful rock family using a Cricut

Free summer SVG files, rocks people cricut files, summer fun for kids, free summer SVG files for kids, summer activity for kids, rocks paint, pet rock file, pet rocks

Esther, our four year old, THRIVES on being social and she has an incredible imagination. So as social distancing continues through the summer, cancelling pool parties and holiday fun and parades and BBQS, the only thing left to do is…..MAKE YOUR OWN PARTY OUT OF ROCKS! Obvi! šŸ™‚

SOOOO! Today, I am showing you how we did this with some rocks, a bit of paint and my fave Cricut cutting machine! (ANNND, psttt…this is another installment of our SVG cut file collab with 11 other amazing makers, so be sure to check out all of their summer projects and free SVG files at the bottom of this post)!

I also talked to Esther about how fun it would be to make a bunch of these and leave them around our cute little downtown area for people to find. I mean, can you imagine licking your ice cream cone and looking over in the landscaping to find THIS GUY staring you?!?! šŸ™‚ šŸ™‚ šŸ™‚

MATERIALS:

  • Rocks in various sizes
  • Spray paint or acrylic paint + paint brushes
  • Cricut cut files (eyes, mouth, accessories)
  • Permanent vinyl for your Cricut (preferably black)
  • Transfer tape
  • Optional pom poms or other accessories to give your rocks character

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Prep your rocks! Hunt for rocks (this is the fun part) and then wash your rocks to get rid of dirt and outdoor gunk. Then let them air-dry or in the sunshine fully (Paint won’t stick to dirt or water so this step is just prep.

**tip for rock hunting: try to pick rocks that are large enough so that you can easily transfer the eye but also have some flat surface area for the vinyl to stick

2. Paint your rocks. We used spray paint to give them a good base coat. You also could use acrylic paint (just nothing washable) to paint them. Give them as little or as much detail as you want. Paint paints, shirts, or other details if your rocks are large enough.

3. Cut eyes with the Cricut SVG Cut file. Download your SVG cut files HERE. Upload them into your Cricut design space and resize the file according to how wide/large you want your eyeballs to be (we just measured the majority of the rocks and then cut 2 “rounds” of eyes at various sizes). Use your Vinyl setting on your Cricut and cut out as many of the eyes as you’d like (and while they are cutting, imagine the personalities of each different rock so that you can being to give them names and other characteristics….pssst….this is the fun part)! šŸ™‚

**note: when you are in your Cricut design space you are going to want to highlight the eyes that you are using (by holding down your shift key and click on each layer) and then clicking “weld” at the bottom right. This is going to make sure each pupil and iris is all together in one “eyeball set” rather than being spread out across the whole surface.

4. Attach eyes + embellish! Cut out the eyes into each set. Then weed out the black negative space (with your pointy weeding tool) so that only the eyes + pupils are left on the paper. Transfer the eyes by burnishing them onto the a piece of transfer tape (this will allow you to position them onto the rock). Then with finger force (and perhaps your burnishing tool if you rock is smooth enough) begin to transfer the eyes to the rocks. Peel back the transfer tape using a 45* angle across the side and be sure the vinyl sticks as you peel back the transfer tape. Press again with your fingers after you pull back the transfer tape so that all edges and small parts are stuck to the rock.
Embellish as desired

    Are these eye files available in Cricut design space? I am not able to access them from your page in the spots that say download here.
    I want to do this project with my grandsons.

Adding color and lots of little personalities and Adding color and lots of little personalities and faces to our weekend. Because love wins and death is conquered….so yes, this is for sure how we celebratešŸŽ‰ 
Also, every time I cracked an egg this weekend, I squealed in the sound or noise that I thought the personality of the egg would sound šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ obvi.
I would PICKle you as my Valentine over and over i I would PICKle you as my Valentine over and over if I could! šŸ˜‚
Also, yes, this is clearly a @claussenpicklesofficial because duh, they are the best! ā¤ļø

The alternate caption could also be ā€œyup…..it’s a Valentine pickle. Because my kids are obsessed with vinegar soaked veggies. Just swipe for the Halloween pickle proof šŸ„’ ā€œ
For the record, I got approximately zero adulting For the record, I got approximately zero adulting things done while constructing this cardboard @encantomovie Casita of my daughters dreams. Except of course inserting many phrases in place of the ā€œwe don’t talk about Brunoā€ song…..ya know, ā€œwe don’t talk about dishes no no nooooo. We don’t talk about laundryyyyyy.ā€ šŸ  šŸŽØ šŸ’› 
Also, the minute the hot glue was dry, Esther picked up the Casita, hugged it and ran it to the living room where she played most of the afternoon. A moment of Mom win to warm my heart šŸ˜­ā¤ļø
ā€œMay you find the light that guides you homeā€ ā€œMay you find the light that guides you homeā€ 
One of my fave song + fave yearly progression that makes me allll happy and sappy. Merry Christmas šŸŽ„ I hope you’re finding light this holiday season!
If I’ve said it once and I’ll say it 3 squllio If I’ve said it once and I’ll say it 3 squllion more times: I LOVE PAINNNTTTTT! Here’s the thing……paint is always, 100% paint-overable. If you paint something, step back, live with it for while but just doesn’t feel right…..simply paint over it. Like really that simple. 
I’ve done this a handful of times in our own home….bathrooms, bedrooms, hallways (like so many times in the hallways šŸ˜‚)! 
Painting to me is a slight reflection of life: nothing is perfect, and even when mistakes or missteps feel overwhelming they are always worth fixing and usually fixable annnnnd it’s amazing how much a  small moment can bring big joy…..or in this case a big moment on a biiigggg wall šŸŽ‰šŸŽØ
I am doing my last restock of these little nutcrac I am doing my last restock of these little nutcracker buddies tonight at 7pm (central time)! So if you’ve had your eyes on them, especially after seeing them in @hgtvmagazine (gahhhhhhh, still can’t get over this), then be sure to find yourself in my shop tonight at 7pm central!
Even thought I had alllll the intentions of postin Even thought I had alllll the intentions of posting this sooner, I make no apologies because I don’t like living in the land of the ā€œshoulddasā€. Especially during this season of intentional slowing down and anticipating the arrival of Christmas. 
Download this coloring advent village and take a few min away to color each house and talk about the season and the way you can shine light! 
PS, download the file on my blog amongst the other holiday themed doodles coloring sheets…..AND we printed our village in gargantuan size from Staples….(their engineer print) and I am not one but mad about the fact that it will take up nearly half a wall! šŸ˜‚ ā¤ļøšŸŽ„
Tis the season for my crafting fingers to be full Tis the season for my crafting fingers to be full of hot glue burns and can honestly say it makes me happy. Like so thankful and happy! 
Okkayyy well maybe not the burns themselves but the fact that I’m over here, in my little studio space in Wisconsin crafting my heart out and you’re sending the love right back to me with all the support! Support for the doodles and painting and costumes and sewing and other colorful things that I’m eager to share! 
SO thankful. Like I’d really love to give you all a humongous big hug right now.
