Binder Paper Painted Rocks for Graduation

Designed by Ana Araujo

My friend, Germaine, is a high school teacher. She wanted to do something for her students for graduation. We’ve been collecting rocks on the beach and I thought that we could paint them. She wanted them to say “Believe in yourself.” We thought that binder paper would be a cool look for the students. This turned out to be an easy project as I sat next to her to guide her throughout the process. And, of course, I had to stop Germaine at each step to take photos so I could share this project with you! Get Your Rock On!Binder Paper Painted Rocks 2
