For supplies you don’t need much to start. If you are having trouble finding smooth stones, look for river rocks at your local garden center or you can even purchase rocks on Amazon. Additionally another great supply to have on hand for rock painting crafts is acrylic paint.  For more information on rock painting supplies check out my post on the best rock painting supplies and also this post on other creative ways to decorate rocks.
