Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Step 1: Prepare the rock

Wash and dry your rock. A rock shaped like a rounded triangle or heart works perfectly for a strawberry. The pointed end will be the bottom of the berry.

2

Step 2: Paint the berry red

Paint the entire rock with bright red acrylic paint. Apply two coats for a rich, even strawberry color. Let each coat dry completely before adding the next.

3

Step 3: Add the seeds

Using yellow or white paint and a toothpick or fine brush, add tiny oval-shaped seeds all over the red surface. Space them evenly in diagonal rows for a realistic strawberry look.

4

Step 4: Paint the green top

At the wider end of the rock, paint a green cap with small leaf-shaped points extending outward like a star. This is the strawberry calyx. Make 5-6 small pointed leaves.

Step 5: Finish and seal

Once everything is dry, you can add a tiny green stem at the very top. Spray with clear sealant to protect your strawberry rock. It looks good enough to eat!

Step 6: Add RoxGeo Code

On the bottom or back of your rock, write ROXGEO.COM followed by a slash and your rock’s unique code (e.g. ROXGEO.COM/ABC123). This lets the finder go directly to your rock’s profile page and log their discovery. If the rock is too small for the full address, write #ROX followed by the code without spaces (e.g. #ROXABC123) — it’s short, easy to search on Google, and leads straight to your rock’s journey page. Use a fine-tip permanent marker or acrylic paint pen, and seal it with clear varnish so the code stays readable through rain, sun, and adventure.

Helpful Tips

Heart-shaped or triangular rocks make the most realistic strawberries.
Use a toothpick dipped in yellow paint for perfectly tiny seeds.
Paint a group of different-sized rocks for a strawberry patch collection.
Add a touch of lighter red or pink at the tip for a realistic ripening effect.
These make adorable play-kitchen props or garden decorations!
For the RoxGeo code on the bottom, use a waterproof permanent marker (like Sharpie) or an acrylic paint pen. Apply 2–3 coats of clear sealant over the code — this keeps it readable through rain, sun, and handling for months.
Writing #ROXCODE (e.g. #ROXABC123) on your rock makes it easy to find via Google search. We actively optimize for this hashtag, so anyone who searches for it will find your rock’s profile page quickly.
The full address ROXGEO.COM/CODE takes the finder directly to your rock’s card, where they can see its full travel history, previous finders, and photos from every stop on its journey.
