Creating concrete stepping stones

Stepping stones add beauty to a garden. And making your own is a great project to add the right touch!
Select the shape that you would like your stone to be. Cut the contact paper to the size of the mold. I lay my design underthe contact paper and lay my glass on the sticky side of the contact paper. This keeps the glass from 'floating' once the morter is put in.
Lay the your contact paper in the mold...design up... Mix your morter until it's of brownie consistancy. Fill the mold half way then add a small piece of screen then fill the container to about 1/4 of top of the mold. (the screen adds strenghth to the stone).
Clean up and let the mold cure for at least 48 hours.
After the 48 hours, remove the concrete from the mold. Remove the contact paper from the concrete. I then take my stone to the sink and rinse all the residue off the glass and sponge it until the design gees through.
Make sure you use a protective concrete water sealer on the stones if they are going to be outside.
These make wonderful gifts........
Enjoy!
