Homemade Stenciled Concrete Stepping stones

19 years ago

I have the concrete stones - a bunch of great stencils - alot of leftover stencil paint - & I want to use them all to make some really neat stepping stones for my garden. My questions is --- what can I use to seal them?? Something clear that will protect the stenciling but yet won't be slippery?? I'm on a budget so getting a bunch of different stenciling paints is out of the questions unfortunately.

I use Stone Mason Premium concrete sealer (clear matte finish)from HD - this works well for my stained glass garden stones. I would suggest that if you will be walking on your stones that you seal every couple of years.

Good luck

Thank you. And you apply this right over the stenciling - correct?
