I have always loved the colors and textures of tumbled rocks. It all started in my childhood, when my family would vacation in New Hampshire every summer. The gift shops always had a huge display filled with these gorgeous little stones. You could fill a bag with your favorites for just a few dollars. Today, the nostalgia that these tumbled rocks carry is equal to their beauty. You may wonder what to do with tumbled rocks, especially if you have a collection of them. I have an idea for you!
This craft is so simple and easy to do, but it’s beautiful. All you need are tumbled stones, small boxes, some gold paint, a paintbrush and E6000 super glue or Gorilla hot glue. I got these small round boxes in a six pack from Hobby Lobby. The smaller purple stones are from Amazon, while the larger ones were a thrift store find.
These beautiful boxes are great for use as trinket boxes in your own home. They would also make a great container for a small gift, like jewelry or candy.

Design, thrifting, and entertaining are my passion, and I share that passion with you through this blog. I also love being in the kitchen and crafting cocktails. I love Jesus and occasionally, I talk about him too. He has been so powerful in my life, and I love to bring him glory with my hobbies.
