Garden Stepping Stone With Repurposed Embellishments

(from Rebecca's Garden tv show)

Materials: Disposable tin foil cake pan at least 2 inches deep, cooking spray oil, disposable face mask and gloves, concrete mix, bucket, water, stir stick, straight edge, decorative element

1. Spray cake pan with cooking spray.

2. Put on face mask and gloves, open concrete bag, and put 6-8 cups of mix in bucket. Add just enough water until it's the consistency of cookie dough.

3. Pour concrete into cake pan. Use strait edge to make the top smooth. Drop the pan up and down to get rid of air bubbles.

4. Press a decorative element--vent cover, dresser drawer pull with the screws taken out, broken tile or china pieces, even leaves or a fern branch--into the concrete.

5. Let dry 24 hours and unmold. Pull the leaves off if used.

**Once you gather together all the materials, you can literally make these in 15 minutes, and they are strong and durable and perfect for use in your garden beds or inserted in a garden path.**
