DIY: Paint Your Own Seaside Pebbles using Ohuhu Direct-ink Acrylic Markers 24 Colors - Nahuku

Today, I’m sharing a super fun and easy Pebble DIY project where you’ll learn how to paint on pebbles perfect for beginners or anyone who loves the ocean like me!

Using the vibrant Ohuhu Acrylic Direct-Ink Markers, Whether you want to keep them for yourself or gift them to a friend, these pebbles are a perfect summer DIY.

  

What You’ll Need:

· Pebbles

· Ohuhu Acrylic Direct-Ink Markers (these markers are amazing because the ink flows smoothly and dries quickly)

· Pencil (for sketching your design first)

· Clear varnish or sealant spray (to protect your design)

· Keyring hardware (if your wood pieces don’t already have keyrings attached)

· Paper towel or cloth (to clean mistakes)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Prep Your Pebbles 

 

Give your pebbles a quick wipe to remove any dust or dirt.

 

Step 2: Sketch Your Design

 

Use a pencil to lightly sketch your design on the surface. Sometimes using a white pencil helps the sketch come through a bit better. I like to go with simple ocean-inspired themes — waves, palm trees, sunsets, or even abstract beach patterns.

 

Step 3: Start Painting with Ohuhu Acrylic Markers

 

Now the fun part! Using your Ohuhu markers, start coloring inside your sketch. These markers are great for layering colors and blending — you can even add highlights or shading by varying your pressure and layering.

If you make a mistake, don’t worry! Quickly wipe it off with a damp paper towel while the paint is still wet.

 

Step 4: Let It Dry

 

The markers dry fast, but I recommend letting your pebbles for at least 30 minutes to make sure everything sets well.

 

Step 5: Seal Your Artwork

 

To protect your beautiful design, spray a thin layer of clear varnish or sealant over the painted surface. This will keep the colors vibrant and prevent them from rubbing off.

Tips & Tricks

· Keep your designs simple and bold.

· Try mixing colors by layering light and dark shades for a more dynamic look.

· Practice your designs on paper first to get comfortable with the markers.

· These make fantastic handmade gifts! Package a few together with a cute note for a beach-loving friend. Super cute little treasures to hide in your garden too!
