You can use a purchased mold, a pizza box, or make a mold with pieces of lumber cut to size. For this stone, I made an octagonal mold from cardboard, then lined it with a piece cut from a plastic grocery bag. This way supply costs are minimal! The letters can be left in, or removed to give an engraved look.

Thanks RR: the hotwire machine is simply a device that heats a wire hot enough to melt styrofoam. You can find these on the internet. I glued the mosaic pieces as well as the lettering to the plastic lining of the mold. Letters must be reversed! I have included a picture of the hotwire machine I built.You can view an article on how to make one on instructables.com Cman

Hi, Your stepping stone is really beautiful. What is a hotwire machine? Also, what are you gluing the pieces too. Thanks,
Rose
