Default Stepping Stones

I have many hobbies and one of them is landscaping my yard. I bought some stepping stone molds at a local craft store. I started making stepping stone with pottery and old pieces of glass I found metal detecting. Then I started using some of the unusual but worthless metal. Every one loved them. Well I took about 15 of them to the flea market as well as my bird houses and bird feeders that I made and sold every last one of them. I thought I would share my Idea. Now I am working on more for Christmas gifts.( yea I know CHRISTMAS!!! in MAY?) I am a early shopper .

What a wonderful idea! I've been thinking about making some stepping stones for my place and I've found some pretty crockery shards in the field. I always wish I had something to do with them and now I DO! I have a certain spot where I drop those things in the field so I am hoping they are still there after the all the rain we've had here lately.

Thank you for the idea and please do post some photos.

love this idea, always looking for something new, easy and can take along to flea markets to do. sounds like a great idea.

here is one for you. large rock from the river, wrap (using elmers glue) with any chosen material, flags, western, animals, always have a place to put their name and walalllaa there is a big door stop. you can make them anywhere.
