Supplies for Stenciled Stepping Stones
- Stencil1 Honey Bee stencil
- Concrete pavers (I purchased mine at Lowes for $1.30 each)
- Weather-resistant acrylic craft paints (I tried out Plaid’s FolkArt multi-surface paints for the first time and used the colors Teal, Parchment, Pink Melon, Pure Orange, and Ocean Blue)
- Foam brushes
- Painter’s tape

How to Make Stenciled Stepping Stones

2. The gaps between the honeycomb holes are pretty thin, so you do want to be careful when using multiple colors. I used the tip of my foam brush around the edges. If you happen to overlap colors, you can go back and touch them up. Or, you can make this a super fast and fool-proof project by just using a single color!

3. Once you have filled in all the holes let the paint dry (it dries in a matter of minutes on the concrete). Wipe off the back of your stencil with a damp rag or paper towel to remove any paint that seeped through, and then reposition it by lining it up with some of the painted areas.
I repositioned mine slightly to the side and only filled in some of the holes. I repeated the same process for the top section of the stone, and also added a couple along the side so it looked like the design is running off the stone.
