Try this simple technique to turn
a slab of concrete into an
eye-catching path or patio.

Materials List

What You Need:
  • Natural-bristle paintbrush or paint roller
  • Chalk
  • Plastic mold for concrete (we used a flagstone-shape form, but molds also come in brick and tile shapes)
  • Oil-based concrete stain in three colors (we used charcoal gray, medium taupe, and light gray)
  • Sand-finish additive (if desired; ask the paint store to mix it with the stain)
