How to Create Personalized Stepping Stones for Your Yard | Tips

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kids love to help with home improvement projects, but it’s often a challenge finding something that will catch their attention and suit their skills. So try this one on for size. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Make your own customized stepping stones for a pathway or garden decoration. First you’ll need a form, and the top 2 or 3 inches of an old five gallon bucket works great. Once you cut it smoothly away from the rest of the bucket you’re ready to mix up some ordinary bagged concrete. When it’s thoroughly mixed pour it into the form scraping off the excess flush with the top of the form. As the concrete sets up the kids can decorate it with hand prints, polished stones or do some custom engraving with a stick. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When it’s dry you have a stepping stone and a family keepsake.</span></p>
