These Star Wars jawa rocks are equal parts adorable and easy to make. Amanda at Crafts by Amanda teaches you how: How to Paint Star Wars Jawa Rocks
The adorable little Darth Vader reminds me of a three year old playing dress up because of how short he is - or maybe he's just a baby Darth Vader? Either way, learn how to paint a Darth Vader rock here.
Now that The Mandalorian has come out on Disney+, everyone knows that Baby Yoda is the best thing to have happened to the Star Wars universe.
This impressive Baby Yoda painted rock (or more properly "The Child" as my son insists we should call him) was painted by Karisa Voigtlaender from Hillsboro Rocks.
Feeling Star Wars for the holidays? This festive BB8 with a santa hat was painted on a rock by my oldest son who was 8 years old at the time.
These simple Star Wars rocks were uploaded directly to Pinterest so they don't appear to have a coordinating tutorial.
If you know the basics of line drawing, though, you should be able to follow along using craft paint or Posca paint pens. See the original on Pinterest.
This great collection of Star Wars "rocks" are actually Star Wars Easter Eggs - but if you had a smooth stone you could absolutely follow the Star Wars step by step painting tutorial on Creative Green Living to recreate these on rocks.
Is intergalactic destruction more your style? This adorable Death Star rock (yes! adorable. Death Star.) is perfect!
Get the tutorial from StarWars.com but remember that you shouldn't hide rocks with things glued to them so better to keep this one for yourself.
This stone painted to look like a Porg from Ahch-To from Instagram Artist Cara Dura is so impressive! I love how she worked with the shape of the stone to make a mini porg.

It's equal parts charming and cunning. Plus it's a super easy rock for beginners to paint. Get the tutorial for how to paint a Star Wars Death Star rock here.
