Are your paper clips, pushpins, and other metallic objects always in a disarray on your work desk or drawer? To organize them more efficiently and in a visually cool way, paint over medium-sized rocks with magnetic paint and then use its magnetic surface to keep clips and other metallic items in place.

Rocks are pretty boring as they are, but with a little extra paint and other basic hardware supplies, rocks can be transformed into cool photo stands, bookends, paperweights, garden markers, and more.

Before using for your DIY project, be sure to give the rocks a good scrub with soap and water to remove dirt, dust, and bugs.
