Learn to tumble rocks like a pro! This video was so fun to make and took a really long time! I have included the process I used below to help you out! A big shout out to Ragnar Rocks for his awesome tumbling guide that gave these gorgeous results! Please go check out his channel! Enjoy!
How to Tumble Rocks
1. Fill tumbler 2/3 full of rocks and ceramic media.
2. Add water to just under the level of the rocks.
3. Add one scoop of grit 1 per pound of rock (I did 2 scoops).
4. Tumble for 8 days.
5. Rinse rocks throughly.
6. Tumble rocks for one day in water and a drop of dish soap (you can use shaved ivory soap or borax too).
7. Continue the above steps through grit 4 (polish).
8. Woohoo! Cool shiny rocks!
