How We Made Stepping Stone Walkway From Ice Cream Buckets.
Here is another blog post on it: https://www.thriftyfun.com/tf84911849.tip.html
Cut the ice cream containers to the height you want the stepping stones, then mix up the cement/plaster of Paris or whatever you're using to make the stones, rub baseline around the inside of the ice cream tub then pour in the mix, if you're wanting to decorate I would wait for a little bit until it is starting to harden, but not too long or it will be too hard. Let it set for amount of time the package suggests then remove from the ice cream container
I think you can fill them with quick-crete (quick drying concrete) I would fill the bottom of the ice cream bucket about 2" with cement and drop decorative stones and gems in it. Let it dry then peel off the cardboard ice cream bucket and you will have a stepping stone!
