People have been stacking rocks since Stonehenge and before. It's rumored that the Menehune in Hawaii stacked rocks to mark their trails or for possible religious reasons. When we went to Hawaii we saw stacked rocks and stacked a few of our own. This little project is sort of a take off on that history.

During my vacation with my sisters we made some stacked rocks and it was really fun to come up with a nice saying and bring home a memory of the trip.

Here's what you'll need.

Stones, any size.

Household glue. (not required if you want to free stack)

Felt tipped permanent marker.

The hardest part of this project is finding the perfect stones. Since you are going to be gluing them they not have to be flat but it does help.
Glue your stack of stones one at a time and let them dry. It's good to have a larger stone on the bottom so you have a surface to write on.
Write a simple saying on the stones and that's it. They make nice gifts and they look good in your garden.

Take some glue and a marker with you on your next camping trip and stack some stones for your garden. Do not leave them in the forests for other people to find. Some people might consider it defacing nature and not appreciate it.

We hope you liked this project. If you build it and your friends ask where you got such a clever idea, please tell them that you got it at RunnerDuck.com.
