16 DIY Stepping Stones to Brighten Any Garden Walk
Garden stepping stones are great handmade garden or backyard. To add some stepping stones in your yard you don’t need to have a great budget. Here are our favorite DIY stepping stone projects, complete with instructions for creating your own.
Leaf Motif
A rhubarb leaf was the mold for this step stone, but any large leaf will do. Using Portland cement, frost the leaf like a cake. Add a layer of wire for reinforcement and frost again. After the concrete has cured, remove the green leaf to reveal a beautiful sculpture—that you can walk on!
Pebble Mosaic
Pebble mosaics are time-consuming to create but oh-so-stunning. If you have the time and the will, the result is definitely worth it. The stones must be set tightly together, ideally on their edge, in mortar within a form. If you work carefully, you shouldn’t see much mortar when you’re done—just the marvelous pebbles you’ve painstakingly collected.
