Coastal Beach Garden Stepping Stones with Shells, Seaglass, Pebbles & More | DIY How To & Shop

Beautify your yard or garden with decorative stepping stones inspired by the sea. 

You can make your very own coastal or beach theme stepping stones or shop handmade stepping stones. If you want to make your own stepping stone(s) the cool part is that you don't need a Fancy Mold to do so.  You can use a non-stick cake pan or plastic planter trays, for example. Latter was used to create the above beachy stepping stones. For the tutorial, go to Real Housemoms.

Place your beach garden stepping stones anywhere in your yard or, of course, lay them out as a walkway. 

 

Sea glass pieces were used to make these stepping stones. Original source is no longer available.

Another beautiful example, using mostly seaglass, comes from Lovely Greens. For this stepping stone extra wire is used to give it more stability.
