Rainbow Striped Painted Rock Photo Holder Craft
Hi Rock Painting Friends, it's Natalie from Doodlecraft with another fun rock painting craft project!
Make this adorable rainbow striped painted rock and wire wrapping to hold photographs or name cards. It's a perfect project for Easter or just because!
Rainbow stripes painted in non-traditional colors with some simple gold wire make this a very economical craft.
It's reminiscent of a rainbow with a pot of gold at the end!
These would look cute set around a table for place card settings for Easter brunch too! The pastel rainbow stripes look a little bit like Easter eggs.

Rock Photo Frame Step 1: Paint the Rock!
I like to start the rainbow in the middle, at green, and then progress through the colors and back around.
Rock Photo Frame Step 2: Cut the Wire!
Cut 2 feet of gold wire and fold the wire in half.
Rock Photo Frame Step 3: Twist!
Wrap the wire around the rock two times. Bring both ends of the wires back to the top center.
Twist the wires together tightly.
Rock Photo Frame Step 4: Loops!
Rock Photo Frame Step 5: Add a Photo or Name Tag!
Add a photograph, note or name card by slipping it in between the 2 wires that form the loop. That's it!
