Stenciled rock napkin holders

If you’ve a few minutes, a few (clean) rocks, a few stencils and some multi-purpose paint laying around, you can make these stenciled rock napkin holders. These act like table top napkin weights and it seems like it too simple and  the best part it is! The stencils are cute, and it’s much nicer looking than plopping a plain,dirty rock on someone’s napkin to keep it from blowing away.

Supplies to make your stenciled rock napkin holders

Clean santized rocks

Multi-purpose paint in color choice

Pouncers or make up sponges

Stencils

Prep your rocks and tape on your stencils

A blue stencil with cut-out arrow designs is partially covering a textured surface, creating the impression of stenciled rock napkin holders. "Jennifer Rizzo" is visible on the stencil.

I just taped the stencil on the rock and pounced my paint on. The multi-purpose paint is nice because after it cures, you can even dish wash what ever it’s on. I did a few layers of paint to deepen the color. Make sure to quickly wipe off any extra paint from around your pattern. Once it dries, it’s really hard to get off the surface.

Four rocks are painted with neon tribal designs, including arrows and triangles, and placed on a piece of white paper, doubling as unique stenciled rock napkin holders.

I used two different colors and a few different patterns to mix it up a bit.

If you don’t have any rocks in your yard, the craft store actually has small bags that are just the right size. Possibly also a landscape supply store has them.

Outdoor table setting

I made a little table setting on my back deck next to our crazy Wisteria plant. It has really taken off this year! There’s a Robin’s nest at the top, so I’ve been waiting until the baby birds leave the nest to give it a big trim.

And painted and stenciled rock napkin holders are something that’s easy enough to do that even the kids could do it for a fun project or party idea!
