The Coastal-Inspired Garden Look You Can Easily DIY - House Digest
Craving coastal calm? This easy DIY shows you how to make sea glass stepping stones that instantly bring a relaxed, ocean-inspired look to any garden.
Garden enthusiasts are discovering a unique way to enhance their outdoor spaces with handmade sea glass stepping stones. A recent video by gardener Tanya 🌿 Lovely Greens, known for her organic gardening and crafting projects, demonstrates the simple yet elegant process of creating these durable and visually appealing pathway elements. The stones, crafted from sea glass collected from beaches, offer a sustainable and beautiful alternative to traditional garden pavers. 'I've collected sea glass for years and use the pieces in projects like these stepping stones,' the creator explains, noting that some of her earlier creations from 2014 and 2018 are still in excellent condition. When wet, the embedded sea glass glistens, resembling scattered jewels. The DIY process involves arranging the sea glass (optionally spray-painting one side white for vibrancy) into pot saucers filled with concrete. Once the concrete is dry, the surface is cleaned and sealed with a clear varnish, ensuring longevity. For those without access to sea glass, the creator suggests using alternative materials such as aquarium glass, shells, pebbles, or broken crockery, making the project accessible to a wider audience. This creative endeavor is presented as a fun activity for individuals or families, adding a personal and artistic touch to any garden.
