When our HGHA made them at the picnic it was a really fun project but it took a good 2 hours to complete.
So here is how you can make your own stepping stones. Mix 2 parts sand with 1 part portland cement. Ric used 2 5gal buckets sand and 1 5gal bucket to make all these. You could easily mix up a small batch to just make a few of them. We want some larger pavers so he made a frame with a plywood bottom and 1 1/2 strips. He made 4 16X16 and 2 12 X 16 pavers and then made 3 oval stepping stones with the left overs.
To make the oval stepping stone you just plop down a shovel full of cement onto a piece of scrap plywood smooth out the top and edges with a trowel.
