How to Make a Pet Rock House

Choose a shoebox for your pet rock. If your shoebox seems a little big to scale for your rock, you can either create a palatial mansion or cut it down to the desired size. Cut the box to the desired size, then cut the lid to fit.

Cover the box with decorative wrapping paper or craft paper. Trim the paper to size and tape it onto the box. As an alternative, to avoid visible tape on the outside, use glue or spray adhesive to adhere the paper. Tuck the paper edges inside the shoe box, or paper the inside as well to give your pet's house a creative wall covering.

Furnish your pet rock's house with a luxurious nest for sleeping. Pile up some Easter grass or straw. Keep the fibers contained in a small empty margarine tub if desired.

Cut pieces of poster board to use as room dividers if desired. Once cut to size, cut a doorway opening in the bottom of the room divider so your pet rock can pass through. Tape the poster board dividers to the sides and bottom of the shoebox.

Add other furnishings as desired for your pet rock's comfort. Purchase dollhouse furniture or other toys to place in the home, or experiment with making your own from household materials such as fabric scraps, toothpicks or Popsicle sticks.
