Create your
very own handprint garden stones with this all-inclusive Garden Handprint
Stepping Stone Kit from Milestones. Just follow the easy steps of
preparing the concrete, pouring it into the mold, and then decorating as
desired. This kit gives full creative liberty as the creator gets a blank slate
to work with on the top layer of concrete, so things such as pebbles, glass
pieces, marbles, and more can be pushed into the surface for a textured look
(decoration pieces not included). Words and designs can also be written or
stamped into the concrete surface. Although a writing tool is included, you may
want to see the Traditional Style Letter Stamps or Victorion Style Letter Stamps for consistently sized and shaped
letters, stamps sold separately. The concrete mold is reusable, so once your
stepping stone is completed, all you will need to get to make more stones is
additional Stepping Stone Mix and décor pieces! Total contents
include 3.5lb bag of stepping stone mix, 1 square mold (8”), 1 mixing paddle, 1
writing tool, and easy-to-follow instructions. Please note, item packaging and
content colors are subject to change. Adult supervision is recommended.
