Pizza Box Stepping Stones

     A great craft to do in Spring is make your own stepping stones for the garden.  They are fun and personal.  An easy form to use is a pizza box.  Tiles, glass beads, stones, river rocks and other garden finds are some ideas to decorate them with.  Make a them, pattern, or just play to create a design.  Have a design ready before mixing the Quickcrete.  Some sources recommend spraying cooking spray inside the pizza box for easy removal later.  Mix the concrete to the right consistency, mushy but not soupy, and pour into the pizza box.  Add your design to the top, if they are not settling on top let it set a little more.  Once done, mist the top and wrap entirely in plastic wrap.  Once a day for 5-28 days, depending on use, mist and re-wrap in plastic wrap.  When its done, you'll have a great, personal decoration or sturdy stepping stone for your garden or backyard!
