Learn how to make garden path tiles. Making decorative tiles for paths with your own hands, you will not only have an interesting time, but also get a beautiful result. Professional tile manufacturers can indeed make a unique design, but such products still lack individuality (for example, you can no longer add your favorite elements or sea glass to the pattern). By following these simple instructions, you can make original slabs for your garden. You can put them in a flower bed, in front of your front door, or next to a patio area to make your home look original.
Steps
1 Find a suitable fill shape. The slab can be made in any shape and size. You can make your own dish, or you can use something ready-made, for example, an old saucepan or a deep baking tray. The shape must be at least 5 centimeters deep. 
2 Make a cement mixture by mixing ready-made concrete or cement-sand mixture with water. Stir in enough water so that the consistency of the mixture resembles fatty sour cream. 
3 Spray the mold with nonstick cooking spray.
4 Pour the cement mixture into the mold. Pour the mixture into the center of the mold, then rotate to distribute the cement evenly. Make sure there are no bubbles in the mixture. 
5 Blot off excess moisture with a paper towel or rag.
6 Place decorative items. Now you have the opportunity to reveal your individuality and make the stove as unusual as you want. Here's what you can decorate the slab with: sea glass, decorative colored balls, handprints, initials. 
7 Remove the plate from the mold after it has dried for 48 hours. You need to turn the mold over, knock on the bottom and carefully pull out the plate. 
8 Moisten the stove a little and cover it. Let it grasp completely for another two weeks. 
9 Place your stove where it looks best and enjoy the result!
Tips
- If you want to hang the decorative board in the future, insert the hook inside before it dries.
- Wholesale garden path slabs can be ordered from various themed online stores.
- Many manufacturers make customized tiles to order. Usually tiles are made in large volumes, so this is a great option for those who are building their own house or just want to change the design of the local area.
Warnings
- Wear gloves while working to keep the cement mix out of your hands.
