Painted Stepping Stone for your Garden

Create a simple Painted Stepping Stone for your Garden

Hello friends, I’m super excited to share a new project today! Painted Stepping Stone for your garden!

This Summer I’ve really been trying to do more projects in the yard.  Last month I made a DIY Hose Stand and I love how it turned out.  So I decided to add some more projects to the yard.   This project is perfect if you have a Silhouette Cameo 4, OR if your really good at freehand.  The possibilities are endless with a project like this!

Painted Stepping Stone Supplies Needed:

  • Silhouette Cameo 4
  • Garden Paver – Wal-Mart
  • DecoArt Patio Paint
  • Silhouette Cutting Mat
  • Weeding Tool
  • Transfer Paper
  • Vinyl
  • Scraper
  • Foam Brush

While I was at Wal-Mart I came across these cool round stepping stones for $2.50.  I could not pass these cool stones up, I knew I wanted to do some with them for my flower bed. I was originally inspired by PMQ for Two tile makeover she did a couple months ago.

Let’s get started!

Painted Stepping Stone for your Garden

Step 1 – Paint Paver

First let’s start off by painting our entire paver!  I decided I wanted white for my background color so my colors would really POP.

I used the Outdoor Living paint for this step.  I only needed to add two coats for this step!!

Step 2 – Cut and add Stencil

Next it’s time to cut and add our stencil!  I found both of these designs in the Silhouette library.

I started off weeding this, but I felt it was easier to add the cut to the paver, then weed it afterwards.  It really did make it so much easier.

Step 3 – Weed Vinyl

Now it’s time to weed the entire stencil.  Like I said in step 2, it’s so much easier this way.

Step 4 – Paint Stencil

NOW THE FUN PART!!  Painting (insert happy dance emoji)!!

I decided to use the Patio Paint for this part, I have so many more color options with these paints.

After the paint has dried (which is pretty fast) it’s time to peel up the vinyl.  I made a quick time lapse video for this step on my Instagram page.  Make sure to check it out and follow me on Insta if you don’t already!

Step 5 – Fix any Problem Areas

For some reason this stepping stone had some bleeding with the paint in areas.  I think because I was making the time lapse video, I was working a little faster then I usually would have and pulled my vinyl up too fast.  But it was an easy fix, I just went over the problem areas again with the Outdoor Living paint.

Plus I feel like it gives it a cool aged look.
