10+ Ways to dress up your garden with stepping stones

Dress up your garden with stepping stones

I know I am moving a little fast forward here into the season. I like to think early and execute my plan so that I am ready to enjoy the nicer weather and not be filled with a to do list of preparations.

Today, I am sharing 10+ ways to dress up your garden with stepping stones.

Who knew? I actually have stenciled on stepping stones some time ago. This was early on in blogging and I don’t believe I ever shared the project. Now I have stepped up my game and really stepped up the stones.

The other day when I shared how to stencil with Plaster of Paris, I also had done another project that day while I had out all the supplies.

Did I mention working with that stuff can be a tad messy? Not too bad, but I do recommend you covering your work surface and the floor as well.

This is what my patio paver looked like before. I bought the cheapest one because this was all just an experiment. Next go around, I will buy the round ones at $4.99 each. This here one was $1.49.

If you missed how I did the application with Plaster of Paris, please check out my How to stencil with Plaster of Paris post HERE.

I have an video coming soon with a live tutorial. I was sweating bullets on this one. I really didn’t think it was going to turn out. Here is a sneak peek of the next project I will be sharing.

Ok, enough of my ramblings. You came here to see other stepping stone ideas.

ENJOY!

In case you are wondering, I was indeed going for the rustic, weathered and worn look on this stone. That is not by accident. I do plan on sealing this as well. I just brought it outside to the garden to snap my photos real quick. This sucker is sort of heavy.

First, I applied my stencil medallion and did the plaster technique. I let that dry overnight and then came in with my gather here stencil, and let that dry for half the day. I painted the entire stone with black gel stain. The next day I used a sanding block and lightly sanded over the stone for the weathered look.
