DIY Flower Stepping Stone for Your Garden
Add a personal touch to your garden with this unique flower stepping stone. Here's a simplified guide to creating it:
1. Print the Flower: Start with printing the flower.
2. Attach Flower to Box Base: Secure the printed flower to the bottom of a leak-proof cardboard box that's deeper than the flower's height using superglue.
3. Pour Silicone Over Flower: Fill the box with silicone until the flower is entirely covered. Make sure the silicone layer is even.
4. Let Silicone Set: Wait for the silicone to fully cure. This might take some time, so be patient!
5. Add Extras to the Mold: Place any poop and failed prints on top. This layer will be the face of your stepping stone.
6. Bake the Mold: Set your oven between 300-400 F. Use a dedicated oven for this, ensuring good ventilation to avoid any hazards.
7. Add Filament: As the contents melt, gradually add more filament to the mold until it's full.
8. Cooling Phase: Allow the mold to cool off completely before attempting to demold.
9. Demolding: Once cooled, carefully remove your stepping stone. Watch out for any sharp edges that may have formed.
And there you go! A custom-made flower stepping stone to beautify your garden even more.
