  Cut off enough chicken wire for the size of the rock you want.
  
  
• 2). Bring the ends of the wire together, fasten, and mold the wire into the shape of a rock.
  
  
• 3). With the glue gun, attach two layers of paper towel over the entire wire frame.
  
  
• 4). Cut off about 8 inches of plaster gauze, dip in warm water, squeeze lightly and apply over the paper towels. Apply a second layer the same way. Let dry for 24 hours.

• 2). Mix about 1 cup of sand into the paint and stir well.
  
  
• 3). Brush the rock with the paint and sand mixture. Let dry.
  
  
• 4). With separate brushes, lightly spatter the rock with the individual paints, thinned down. Let dry.
