🖌️ How To Make Paint Minions
- Step 1: To create your minion rock art you will need an oblong shaped stone. (Use as many as you like)
- Step 2: You will also need six paint colours yellow and blue, black, white, silver and pink.
- Step 3: I used brushes and dotters. A pencil was used to help draw the mouths. Paint the top ⅔ of the minion rock in yellow. The yellow I used here is school bus yellow in three coats.
- Step 4: On the bottom of the minion rock paint ⅓ blue. Add a raised portion in the front for a bib. The blue is Copenhagen blue.
- Step 5: I used a dotter to add the shoulder straps to the minion rock painting.
- Step 6: Next step is to add goggles to your minion art work. You will want to use black for the base.
- Step 7: Add silver highlights for the goggles. I used a dotter to apply this to the diy minion rock stones.
- Step 8: Add white in the centre for the eyeball.
- Step 9: Draw the mouth onto your minion characters. I used Pinterest to get mouth ideas.
- Step 10: Outline the mouth in black. Fill in any openings. Add the black in the eye.
- Step 11: Paint the teeth and tongue if you have any. Here I used pink for the tongue.
- Step 12: Highlight the eye with white. I used a liner brush to add the buttons and seams of the pockets.
- Step 13: The last step is to add hair to you minion rock art and to seal. I hope you enjoyed this Minion rock painting tutorial and would love to see your own versions!
Don’t forget to put the rock group on the back of your minion rocks so your rocks can be shared when they are found!

💡 Pro Tip: Encourage kids to paint different Minions with various expressions and accessories. This not only enhances creativity but also makes for a fun display or gift idea.
🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Select Uniform Stones: Choose rocks of similar size and shape to maintain consistency across multiple Minion designs, making the collection visually cohesive.
- Use a Color Palette: Limit your paint colors to a specific palette to ensure harmony among the Minion rocks, enhancing their collective appeal.
- Apply Thin Paint Layers: Use multiple thin layers of paint rather than a single thick one to achieve a smooth, even finish without obscuring details.
- Dry Between Steps: Allow each paint layer to dry completely before adding the next to prevent smudging and maintain clean lines in your design.
- Outline with Fine Tools: Utilize fine-tipped brushes or pens for outlining features to enhance precision and definition in the Minion's appearance.
- Test on Paper First: Practice your design on paper before applying it to the rock to refine your technique and avoid mistakes on the final piece.
