My kids and I did a project years ago. I purchased large plastic planter trays (the kind that catch the water under the pot). Got a bag of fine cement and glass stones. Mix concrete and pour into the trays. Lay the glass stones on top. You can do designs or patterns or have them all one color across the whole thing. Let dry, and pop out of mold, then prep ground. It's been 10 years and they're still in my lawn and look good.
