Recently, with my Girl Scout Troop, we created 10 stepping stones to be placed in the garden leading up to the birdbath. Each girl got to decorate the stones with titles that I broke, marbles, and fake jewels. Here are the steps on how to make stepping stones:
1) First, you need to purchase Quick Set Cement (I bought a 10 pound bag) and you need to find something to put the cement in (I re-used 6 cake tins and 4 weight watcher plastic containers). Also, buy anything that you want to place in the wet stones.
2) Once you have all your supplies, use Pam to spray all the containers (this will help the stepping stones come out when they are dry).
3) Then, mix the cement in a bucket with water (adding water as needed) and stir the cement with a wooden stick.
4) Place equal amounts in the containers.
5) Working quickly before the cement dries, decorate as you would like. When you are done placing items into the wet stones, I would recommend that you wipe them so you can clearly see what you have placed in them.
6) Wait at least a day before you remove the stepping stones from the containers.
Let me know what you think!!
