How to make holiday lights on rocks

Here are step by step instructions to make Christmas lights rock art. You can see it all in action in the video below.

Always make sure to wash and dry your rocks. For these Christmas rocks, we started with a base coat of white. This way the lights pop a bit more on the rock. Once the rocks are dry, use the Sharpie to create a string for the lights. They can go any direction you like!

Using the cotton swab dab the lights along the line.

First, we added red, then green! Make sure they are a little bit away from the line.

Once the lights are dry, go back in with the Sharpie to attach the bulbs to the string.

The bulbs can be on both sides of the string.

TIP when using a permanent marker on rocks you have to seal them with Mod Podge before spraying with a sealer. Otherwise, the marker will run.
