I save and collect broken glass and other little findings. Then I put 2 inches of cement in the bottom of a 5 or 3 gallon bucket then I press the pieces of glass and things on top. I will be making these for Christmas gifts this year.
I am going to New Orleans next month to help rebuild. I plan to bring home or mail myself as many shards as I can. I will make memory stepping stones out of them and maybe even a wall plaque.
My tip is, if you break something, don't throw it out! Recycle it!

I have a Texas shaped mold. I can't seem to keep the panhandle and south Texas from breaking off. I was told to put chicken wire in my mold for stability.

I used chicken wire in mine. They definitely hold together better..
I use wire hangers. Theyre free.
I use Window screen.
the idea to use wire hangers e good but how. Could you explain a bit? Thank you.
I would cut the wire hangers a little short of the length and width and make a grid pattern. Place some cement in the containers add the grid wires and then add the rest of the cement. You could use a bread twisty tie to tie the wires together.
I have 40 years worth of chipped and cracked mugs (you know the ones you save from kids, grandkids, sisters, and husband's parents and so on). I was thinking of breaking them up for stepping stones and was wondering if anyone has tried this?

I like to use broken colored ceramic dishes. I place my design on top as soon it's like pudding so they wont sink. Just be sure to take care of any sharp corners. Push 'em in flush. Oh, I used a plastic tray my hamburg game in.
no,its not clear how these stepping stones are made.explanations too brief
We were not able to embellish with our lettering, marbles, etc. I have 2 sad little girls and one frustrated grandma. I followed the concrete quick set directions and worked fast, but not fast enough.
