Foot shaped stepping stones
Hi
A bit of a long shot, but I've looked just about everywhere. Does anybody know where I can get stepping stones in the shape of a foot in the UK? Failing that, a footprint shaped concrete mould would do. Any helpful would be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

Thanks As I already bought an angle grinder for paving and other purposes I'd cut them from the least expensive slabs that the sheds sell. Curves can be formed by a multiple of angled cuts. Then again, a very artistic interpretation of a foot shape could be achieved with the minimum of cutting. A template can speed the job up considerably. -- Tony Halmarack Drop the EGG to email me. |

Thanks James5577 Make your own mould...........cut a wooden block to shape and create a plaster cast from that. You might even be able to your polystyrene to make the shape.... Jenny |

If you want stepping stones in turf, cut the shapes you want out of the turf, where you want them, and fill with some sort of concrete mix. Pam in Bristol |
