Going on hikes and walks always leaves me feeling inspired and while usually I come home with a head full of ideas, a few hikes back a handful of rocks came home as well. I love the idea of bringing the outside in, in terms of décor and had originally planned on keeping them on my bookshelf, but that didn’t last long after a breezy afternoon was spent working outside trying to keep papers in place. So, I came up with a super easy and colorful way to keep things from flying away with these rockin’ paperweights! It’s a fun afternoon project (especially if you get the kiddos involved), and kept my design simple but bold with a color scheme that will give my monochromatic workspace a pop of color.
