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.
