For Canada Day this year I painted some Canadian flag rocks. Some will be hidden when we go for our daycations and of course some will take a prominent place in the garden.
I made a small template of a maple leaf to trace onto some rocks that were painted white. And then added red stripes on each side of the rock.
Another painted Canadian flag I made a long time ago used 3 flat pieces of rock.
Your flag size is only limited by the size of the stones you use. How about using three patio stones? or a lot of little ones.
I have frequently seen my images used on other sites with no link back. I realize you are only trying to share an idea, but if you have “borrowed” one of my images please give a link back. At least I put a watermark on my images to prove they are mine.

I also updated my version of a trillium rock, and added the word Ontario to it. The original ones were painted to take on a trip to Victoria, British Columbia and hide.
Another Canadian project I finished off in time to display on Canada Day was a spoon chime made with all the souvenir spoons I have from across Canada.
Make a bit of Canadian flag whimsy by following these directions.
I hide lots of my rocks. They are for you to keep or rehide. You can always leave a comment telling me where you found the rocks. Thanks in advance. I love knowing if my rocks are found and where they end up.
Be sure to have a look at my rock projects and see all the other types of rocks I’ve painted.
Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends.

Your rocks are wonderful! I have a friend who paints and hides rocks around her town, and the finders get so excited when they discover one!
Crafty Gardener
That is what I love about hiding rocks, the smiles it brings to peoples faces. Thanks for visiting.
