Animal rock door stoppers are inexpensive to make using rocks and basic craft supplies. An oval-shaped rock can be painted to resemble a ladybug, while several round rocks can be painted and glued together to create a caterpillar. Frogs, mice and fish are other animals that can easily be created using rocks and used as door stoppers. Use heavy rocks that are large enough to hold a door open.

This craft combines basic craft supplies like felt and pipe cleaners as well as recycled objects such as a tin can or a coffee can.
