Making Really Cool Stepping Stones

Tweet

I have been wanting to make a new walkway from my current walkway on down to where we park our car. We tend to never park in the garage and the current walkway goes from the back door to the garage. I found this really cool idea for stepping stones. I have not used this pattern as of yet but do plan on using it in the spring. It seems to be really easy to make. It seems to be a great way to use some items to recycle things from around the house.
