Painted cement stepping stones

Posted by purplemoon (My Page) on

Hi. I'm new here but Luvs asked me to post pictures of my stepping stones that I made and posted over on Garden Junk.
Its easy to paint these and I have fun doing them I buy molds from a great gal on the Internet. The dog one was custom made for me as I show Whippets. I use a concrete sealer after the molds are set, then paint them with regular acrylics from Michaels or the Patio Paint. Then I seal them again with spray Poly, couple of coats. Two of the stones I used concrete stain on.

Karen~ they are all neat, but I really love those big bunnies! I'd love to have something like that instead of my boring round stones. Very cool. Come join us any time! ~Anj

Hi Karen, thanks for posting your painted stones here for us. You know I love those bunnies--especially that brown one! ;o) Karen has quite a collection of bunny and Whippet items in her lovely home.

I just wanted everyone to see that there are so many things we can paint--doesn't have to be just wood or canvas.

Anj, one of my neighbors has the round pavers from her sidewalk across the lawn to the city sidewalk. She has gorgeous one stroke purple flowers and the word welcome painted on one and some white flowers like apple blossoms on another. (I haven't been able to see what is on the rest since they sort of go up a slope.) She just painted the flowers on the natural stone color--did not paint the background first. I admire them everytime I walk past.
