Painting mummy rocks is a calming yet festive craft that adds a handmade touch to Halloween.
All it takes is a few flat stones, black and white acrylic paint, and a steady hand to create the bandaged look.
Finish them off with glowing eyes, and you’ve got a collection of quirky little characters. They’re lightweight, easy to make, and versatile enough to decorate indoors or outdoors.
Materials Needed
- Flat, smooth rocks (clean and dry)
- White acrylic paint
- Black acrylic paint
- Yellow paint or paint pens for eyes
- Fine paintbrushes
- Clear sealer spray (optional, for protection)
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Paint the entire rock black and let it dry fully.
Step 2: Add white bandage lines across the rock, leaving small gaps.
Step 3: Paint a pair of yellow eyes in one of the gaps, then outline with black for detail.
Step 4: Let everything dry, then spray with a clear sealer if you’ll place them outdoors.
Tip:
You should vary the bandage angles and eye shapes to give each rock a different mummy mood.
