Looking to make my own stones but want to color the material (maybe cement) I am using...can I use a cheap acrylic craft paint? or some other powder form?

Sandy....Lowes has a liquid cement color that I am aware of but I am sure they have other coloring ideas also. Good luck!
You can add paint while mixing concrete. Many people use latex paint in order to color the concrete mix that they are about to use. Simply substitute latex paint to a certain percentage of the water in the mix. Do it slowly so as not to put too much paint into the mix, making the concrete lose its integrity
There are concrete additives to change the color.
What about colour pigments added to the concrete while mixing.
