Asian - Inspired crafts - Chinese rock garden supplies

Alright, we are going to make a Chinese rock garden. They are a lot of fun to make and they're a great stress reliever if you want to put them on your desk at work. You are going to need a piece of craft wood and I have already applied a coat of paint to mine. But we'll do the next coat together. You are going to want some river stones that are nice and polished. Again you will pick the color of acrylic paint. Any color you want and a paper plate as your palate. You are going to want a large paint brush and then you are also going to need some wooden dowels which we are going to break up for the rake. You can use toothpicks or plastic forks as well. Those are going to be the teeth of our rake. You are going to need some regular sand. Beach sand is good, you can go an get some sand from your back yard. Just a nice, good happy cup of sand. Those are all the things we are going got need to make this rock garden. The last thing you want to make sure you have is a glue gun and that is going to be to assemble our rake. And remember we going to start with your paint brush. You are going to want to make sure your bristles are nice and wet. I've already been using this one today so I have given him a good rinse. That way you are going to prevent yourself from losing bristles in your paint. So that is another thing, another step you’re going to want to remember to do before starting your Chinese rock garden.
