Paint Your Own Stepping Stones – Creative Outdoor Decorations
The garden looks so bare in the spring before the flowers start to bloom. Why don’t you kids paint your own stepping stones for the garden to add a pop of color. With this kit, you can let your creativity flow. Plus, it’s a nice memento that lasts longer than a picture on the fridge!
A stepping stone is a type of paver block that’s designed to draw the eye to a defined path. Unlike pavers though, stepping stones are placed individually and designed to be stepped on one at a time. They are larger in diameter for this reason, but less stones are required to create a complete path.
Paint your own stepping stones with this creative set of 3 ceramic designs!
The Creative Roots paint your own stepping stones kit is a fun way to make memories. You’ll receive 3 adorable 7” ceramic stepping stones. This group contains a turtle, a hedgehog, and a sun model. Also included are 18 different paint colors with which to decorate the stones. Mix and match colors to create a nearly infinite palette! Three paintbrushes and easy to follow instructions are included as well.
This is a perfect arts project for the kids to enjoy and great for rainy days. Create a long lasting memento full of personality for display inside or outside. If you plan to place your painted stepping stones outside, an adult should coat them with an exterior varnish first. This will help protect the stones from the sun and moisture they’ll experience outside.
How many inches apart should stepping stones be?
Stepping stones, true to the name, should be placed as many inches apart as is comfortable to step from one to another. This may vary whether the intended user is a child or an adult, as height differs greatly. Generally speaking, a range of 12 to 24 inches apart should fit most uses.
When it comes to placement, measure from outside edges on the stones, not the central point. Since stones often vary in size based on design, this allows an even placement pattern. Stones can line an entire pathway, or just a portion if preferred. Colorful, paint your own stepping stones such as this set can also be interspersed with regular pavers to create a unique path.
Can you just lay stepping stones on top of grass?
You can just lay stepping stones on top of grass if you desire. However, you’ll still want to make sure the surface is level to prevent stress cracking when they are stepped on. If your surface is not level, you may either dig some ground out, or add well drained crushed stone to even things out.
Alternatively, stepping stones may be placed in other locations for decorative use only (no leveling required). Use them in the pot of an indoor or outdoor plant. Try them in a terrarium, garden bed, or flower display. This will allow the colorful and beautiful designs to be seen and not damaged.
