How do I make stepping stones?
+4
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.

That's a great project! Whatever you do, I definitely recommend sealing with something really strong that can stand up to the elements :)
Here is an idea. We have used plastic tins instead of a cake pan. https://www.hometalk.com/diy/outdoor/garden/diy-stepping-stone-with-secret-key-hider-24101065
