DIY stepping stones

DIY garden paversThese cute little pavers were created by Swedish garden writer Charlotte Bladh. The DIY features over on her blog (click here to see), though unless you speak Swedish, you won’t understand much. But here’s what I reckon you need to do.
Mix cement as to the packet’s instructions. Find a suitable mould, plus a huge leaf, such as a rhubarb leaf. Oil the leaf so it releases easily. Lay down some plastic or tarpaulin on a flat surface and place the leaf, underside up, on top. Place the mould on top of the leaf, then fill with concrete. You may need to place a weight on top of the mould to keep it firmly in place. Let the concrete dry, then remove the mould. Set aside in a warm, dry spot to cure for a couple of weeks before placing it in your garden.
