- Protective Wear - It cannot be said enough to protect your hands, eyes, and other exposed skin when working with concrete! Concrete can leave burns just like fire!
- Newspaper - Lay plenty out on your work surface! You can also use plastic sheeting, wax paper, or an old plastic tablecloth or shower curtain!
- Something to Mix the Concrete In - I used an old ice cream bucket and it was perfect. You can also use a 5-gallon bucket, a wheelbarrow, or any other old, large container.
- Old Serving Spoon - Great for mixing up your concrete and also for scooping the concrete into your mold.
- Old Measuring Cup - It is needed to measure out your concrete and water.
- Old Screen or Hardware Cloth - Cut a piece about 1 inch smaller than your mold and use it in the center of your stepping stone to make it stronger.
- Damp Rag - Keep one nearby just because you never know when you will need it
- Concrete Dye - Available for both the quick setting concrete and the special stepping stone concrete.
