How to Make a Decorative Garden Path

Make a fun, leaf-inspired garden path with this step-by-step guide for making stepping stones.

Dance along with your very own winding path through your garden. Make these eye-catching steppingstones by molding concrete into pretty leafy shapes. You’ll need big leaves for this project, like the ones on rhubarb, zucchini and sunflower plants.

Materials Needed:

• disposable plastic gloves
• apron
• large plant leaves
• powdered cement mix
• large plastic container
• putty knife
• cardboard
• sand

1. Mix the Cement

Mix up the cement into a thick paste in a large plastic container. Be sure to follow the instructions on the packaging. Remember to wear an apron and disposable plastic gloves.

2. Position the Leaf

For each stone, lay one leaf flat on a large piece of cardboard. The leaf’s veiny reverse side should be facing up.
