DIY Outdoor Decor with Decorative Stones

Introduction

Decorating your home’s exterior is a great way to make it your own. It can be something as simple as hanging some colorful flowers from the porch or putting up a pretty garden. But one of the most unique ways of decorating your outdoor space is with decorative stones! You may not realize that there are many different types of decorative stones, each with its own unique look and feel. While they’re not edible, they can still bring some delicious flavors into your home—and help you create an environment to relax in after working hard all day long!

Buy decorative stones.

Stones come in all shapes, sizes and colors. You can buy them at your local garden center or natural stone store. Look for stones that are big enough to be seen from a distance, but small enough to fit into your jar (if you’re using one). The best kind of stone is one that has interesting colors, like white or purple with veins of green running through it; this will make your decor pop! It’s also important that the weight of your stone is not too heavy for whatever vessel you choose – if it’s too heavy, then it might not stay balanced on top of its base inside the jar.

Create a small outdoor garden or patio.

If you want to create a small garden or patio, this is the perfect option for you. This project can be done easily with some stones and plants. You can use different sizes of stones to create a path in your garden or patio and add plants around it. You can also use stones to create a fire pit next to your outdoor seating area.

Choose a color scheme.

  • First things first, choose a color scheme. This will help you decide what stones to use and where to place them. Choose colors that match your home’s exterior, or use colors from nature. For example: if your home is red brick with gray shutters and white trim, you might want to consider using some of those same earthy/natural tones for your stone accents so as not to clash with the existing look of your home.
  • Second, think about what kind of mood you want to create in different areas of your yard by placing decorative stones in certain places. For example: if there’s an area where you would like more privacy or seclusion but not actually have another room built on purpose (like a gazebo), adding some tall decorative rocks along one side will provide visual barriers without being too obtrusive or costly. It also makes it easier for people visiting outside homes nearby yours during warmer months when mosquitoes may be out in full force!

Lay down some landscaping fabric to create a clean, level surface.

Lay down some landscaping fabric to create a clean, level surface. You can buy landscaping fabric at a local nursery or hardware store. If you do not want to spend the money on this, a tarp will work as well. However, it will be heavier and more difficult to move around when working with large stone slabs.

Fill a clear vase or glass jar with the rocks.

Fill the jar with rocks. This is a simple step, but you’ll want to pay attention to the size of your jar and how much room you have left for flowers. If you’re not sure what size jars are available at your local craft store, here’s a tip: measure out some rocks using a measuring cup or glass measuring cup and then see how many fit in your desired jar size.

The reason I suggest using clear vases or jars over colored ones is that they let light shine through them more beautifully than colored vases do—especially if they’re packed full of rocks (as we will be). You can also use opaque jars if you want something darker-looking; just make sure they don’t get too hot in direct sunlight!

Add water and a floating candle to each jar.

The next step is to add water to each of the jars. Fill them about half-way, making sure that your floating candles are in the center and fully submerged. Now you’re done!

Create “stones of wisdom”, which can be used as table markers for seating arrangements.

If you want to add a little extra decoration to your outdoor space, consider using small stones as table markers for seating arrangements. These “stones of wisdom” can be used in any number of ways. For example:

  • Place them next to place settings with water and small floating candles on top. The candlelight will create an intimate atmosphere at night.
  • Use the stones as vases for flowers or other decorative elements that can be placed on each table setting throughout the party. You could even use them as coasters for drinks!

Create centerpieces with the stones in a variety of ways.

You can use the stones in a variety of ways to create centerpieces for your outdoor table, path leading up to your outdoor space, garden wall, fire pit or fountain.

Having an outdoor space that is unique and beautiful creates an environment where you can relax with family and friends, welcoming all to enjoy your space!
