The Family Pet You Can All Agree On (Hint: It’s a Rock)

Before you dress up your pet rock in stylish duds and learn how to care and feed for it, you actually need to make one! Check out their new pet rock addition below, and learn how to easily make your own today!

You’ll Need:
a rock
glue
fun fur yarn (we bought ours at Amazon) or feathers
a towel (to keep the rock warm and a base for your craft time so your table doesn’t get dirty)

Optional:
eyes
crown
fake eyelashes

Instructions:

Step 1: Find your pet rock. It can be any size, shape or color.

Step 2: Give your pet rock a bath to clean off the dirt before dressing him or her up.

Step 3: Dry off your pet rock with a towel.

Step 4: Lay out all of your supplies to make sure you have everything you need. Feel free to get creative with your decorations–we think feathers, ribbons and stickers could work well too!

Step 5: Lay out your towel on your table and begin to assemble your pet rock. Spread glue on the rock and affix the fun fur yarn all over.

Step 6: Once your pet rock is covered in fun fur yarn add a bit of glue to its head. Add your gold crown.

Step 7: Glue on the fake eyelashes.

Step 8: Add the eyes and make sure your crown is affixed properly.

Step 9: You’re done!
