As many of us know that there are zillions of stepping stone molds sold out in ebay. These are mostly latex molds with pretty good patterns, but there are also metal molds available which might be extra expensive when you consider the shipping cost due to the weight issue. So.. latex always rules, because its flexible, reusable and very light.

Within all these bulk of stepping stone molds in ebay which one would be the best to use? Well, choosing so challenging when you think about the shape you want to buy will be under your feet everytime you pass through. And if it starts to irritate you after some time, then its not the best option for you, and unfortunately it might be too late when you think that is. So, my idea is buying a mold with unsophisticated decorations. But even you want to buy an attractive one, then you may type "celtic" , "celtic mold" in your google or ebay searches.

Our project is making a stepping stone pathway with lighting features. I've  purchased 4 water-proof glass garden lighting from Lowe's store in my neighborhood. I choosed the most suitable one for the stepping stone integration which i thought to use in every middle of my stepping stones. So i tried to buy a lamb with a thick & durable glass cover.

Also we need WD-40 or any rust remover spray. This is critically important. You can buy 2 packs of ready daub mixture (sand+cement). That'll be much easier to use, if you hate mixing dusts like a labour.

Nice idea !! You could use LED lights & seal them in epoxy resin & even add color changing & dimming with remote control ... the mind boggles... Cheers!
