How do I make stepping stones?
Even tho I see kits for sale, I am interested in making stepping stones from scratch--possibly as many as 8-10--These will be used for kids to place their names & the year on them and lead from the sidewalk to a garden I am preparing at the church I attend - not only will this be a fun project for the kids, the stones will be there for many years to come - thanks for any links or direct information.
