Yours are the prettiest ones I’ve seen yet! Nice job!
Give Nicole a raise! Love the pavers and genius use for the broken pottery!
Great project! When mixing cement, if you use a garden ho in the wheelbarrow...it’s a lot easier. We did cement projects with my dad when I was little, we always thought it was fun to mix the cement. Who knew, lol! 😁 You could also try a 5 gallon bucket and a mixing wand for your drill. I have seen some people lay the Glass and pottery pieces face down in the mold and then place the cement on top of it. The surface of your stepping stone will be somewhat smoother. Sealing the top of it with something is a great idea, should help keep water out of the cracks...you don’t want them to freeze and thaw in the winter and break apart. Love your videos!!!
Actually I used some of my broken plates, cups and bottles and made a frame to the bathroom mirror! To make them smooth I used wall plaster and sand it. After that, i protected with varnish and voila!! Really nice👍🏼👍🏼
You should throw an epic multi-tier fountain to go outside of the studio. I'd love to see that.
Haha so this is where all my comments are coming from! Man that's soooo sick, can't believe you bought the board. Looking at your riding, you absolutely kill it on the board too!
I'll send you a DM on instagram and see if we could link up at some stage :)
Yes!!! come to MN! thanks everyone for commenting on David's channel!!
@@Jonthepotter I love the colors you chose and the patterning. Really beautiful. Too expensive a project for me, though...haha, 4 bux for such loveliness can't be beat!
They came out nice. Something else that would look really cute, (I've done one) is throw a small scale bird bath to complement the stepping stone.
Add hardware cloth to the cement mold for durability. Fill half the mold, place hardware cloth in the center, fill mold up. It helps prevent breakage.
Edit: New Thought! EDGING! I wonder if hubby can make me a form to make border edging? I bet he can!
Also, rice husks (organic fill) or shredded nylon would also give some added strength to the cement.
Patte Laury he should be able to. My dad use to stick molding in his forms to get different edges. He was a cement mason.
Kool ideas - I want to make one to round the angle between the concrete sidewalk and porch/ landing ...
Used to have lots of broken China before I moved!
Hey Jon, I'm thinking that epoxy will make your pavers really smooth, as in slick when wet. Maybe you should leave the texture in there. I'm just sayin, I'd be the first to slide off of the paver and land in the plants. Just a thought.
Love it! I have boxes and boxes of that stuff that’s on my bucket list.
Consider what freezing temps will do to clay items sitting on wet soil. Epoxy May cause the pavers to be slick. Test first.
Hi Yvonne, what do you recommend sealing clay pavers with? I have a pet memorial stone I would like preserved and not get ruined in the elements. Thank you!
Great idea! I actually lost an entire kiln load of my tiles because of a kiln misfire. So sad but I put them on the ground and made a path from my studio to my kiln building. Worked great! They have been out side for a couple of years. Your pavers look fantastic.
Best to make the pavers first, then when its cured , use outdoor tile adhesive, to adhere to the pavers then grout it using outdoor grout...will last longer 👍
Like your suggestion. Thank you 😊
Good idea!
"Walking on Walking on Broken Glass" Nice job!!
Love this idea! My ceramic birdbath was knocked over and broke so now I can make use of the beautiful blue/green pieces!
They look great!! And a great way to recycle unwanted or damaged pottery
Add chicken wire for more stability.. Very fun project! And a great way to use those pieces...
Epoxy YES. Especially for bare feet. I have seen people get deeply "sliced" from seemingly smooth cooked glass!! =/ LOVE & FUN that so many people "commented" and invited your wakeboard friend, David to come visit. You have the best JP people... ;]
Love these! Can’t wait to make some for my yard. I save absolutely everything so I have lots of broken glass, plates, mugs etc…! Thank you for this amazing idea🙏👏👏👏
Maybe David would like to have a turn on the wheel, Jon you’d tutor him of course. Wouldn’t that be a great video?🇬🇧
Haha hardware hank! Love that. And when we McGiver it together we call it hardly aware hank!!
Ps I add 3 quart of additional mortar to each wheel Barrow load of redimix to keep my pavers from breaking apart. I sometimes sift out the biggest rubble too to create a finer tighter stronger. mix
Thank you for sharing your video with us. Its very inspiring for me personally. Ive got tones of broken plates and potteries that I need to put into use as mosaic for my garden. God bless you and your intern Nicole. Peace
Brill stepping stones😊. Going to have a go with all my broken china( buckets of the stuff!)
Love love love these. Going to try them myself this weekend !!! Can’t wait to see how they come out. Thank you😊👏👏👏
I realize I am commenting MONTHS after this video was posted...but...
I've seen where people do these but upside down. Place the Mosaic pieces upside down in the bottom and then carefully add the cement over it. This creates a smoother surface when done. No raised edges.
Also, I would be concerned about epoxy creating a slippery surface to walk in when wet.
Another idea is to use old cake pans, put the stones or glass or whatever your using in the bottom, shiney side down and put concrete on top. Pop them out when they are done.
That turned out really good!!!
What a GREAT idea! They're SO cool!
Cool! And happy Canada day to everyone who lives here!
Edit: typo
I was looking for some kind of cool paving or stepping stones and love mosaic syles so that it I'm making them only thing I'm going to do tho is use glass coloured pebbles you can get at craft stores to put in vases but they will still wow my neighbours as it's in front garden and every ones always looking to see what's in my garden so now there's something for them to look for 😆
you made that look like something I could do so quick and easy and oh ya and for very few $$$. thanks for ur video now I'm off to go get my supplies
So pretty! Now that they're finished, can you put black grout on top of them? I'm new at this. Thank you! 🎉
They are gorgeous! Planning a similar project this summer. Thanks for the info.
Epoxy goes sepia over time especially out under the sun. I wouldn’t do it.
Nice work........there are real reasons for safety.......believe it! DD
You got that right!
What a great idea! looks great too!
The epoxy would look good I'm sure, but when wet may be pretty slippery.
They are gorgeous. I am happy jealous. Clever thing you. Sherie Rodrigues 🧡😎
Hi I really love it so much. I'm going going to try this thanku fir sharing!!!!
I have wanted to do this. I was not sure exactly how. Thank you for sharing the process. Looks easy enough. I need lots of pavers/stepping stones.
I really like them!
Ok John, just gave you a huge kudo on David’s page! I’ve been watching you for awhile, and I’m trying to throw big pots now...without a lot of luck, but I’ll keep trying. The last video of yours throwing with, I think 6 lbs (?) helped, but I need to watch a few more times! Anyway, I came to this video because I’m putting in a shade garden, with big pavers meandering throughout. When you get about 1/2 way through the gardens, there’s a sitting area with the pavers placed in a level pad. I’m having all my pottery friends come, (it’ll be a party!) bring their old, rejected & discarded pots. We’ll smash em’ up and make a mosaic between the pavers. Im calling it my ‘Walk of Shame’! 😂
I just needed to know if I should put concrete between the pavers, and yes, I think I better, to set the broken pottery pieces in.
Good luck with David! Hope you two can get together! I enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work!
I loved this video !! going to try to use up my broken china pieces and I thank-you so much taking the time to video and show it to the world
Love the vibes here
Really beautiful
I bet you could sell those at your shop! And you could do butterflies and angels, etc. Very cool! And very beautiful!
AWESOME video. I'm going to make some while I'm stuck at home QUARANTINED!! YAY!! :) I've been making concrete mushrooms, wish me luck!!
La Croix???!!! You guys are too good for that!!!!❤❤❤😊😊😊
Pavers are beautiful
Please release some JTP merch!
Beautiful!!
To prevent them breaking, cut out appropriately-sized squares of chicken wire fencing and embed. And, you'll have perhaps one problem with the deep-set china pieces: they will fill up with dirt really quickly. A smoother surface would help there!
thinking curb stones; then mortaring slabs together to make planters. really need a pathway for broken ceramic mealware
So awesome!!
They turned out very well
Gorgeous!!! ❤️
LOVE THIS idea!!! Yeah, I’m taking it!!!
Love it!!
It would be cool if you could find a paver mold for MN. Even JTP pavers
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thanks so much! I'm going to do this for my garden.
Love the pavers.
The cracks in the concrete patio(?) could be filled the same way.
So cool! I'm totally going to do that tomorrow.
Awesome indeed..!
Awesome idea!!
Will have to give that a go
Ceramic Birdbath next??
Jonthepotter: one adorable dude
Quedaron hermosos🙂 yo quiero uno
Очень красиво ! Я удивилась ) спасибо !)
Yes, a layer of pebbles and/or sand underneath your lovely stepping stones. Great video. Thanks, JtP. God bless. 👍🏽💕
wow. great job.
Let ride with DocWake!!
Awesome ! Love the idea > Great job Thanks
Great idea
Love it Jon. Thanks for sharing.
I think the are awesome
Beautiful stepping stones. What kind of cement did you use? Was it Quikrete?
Yes show the cement cause I'm not sure what you used.
Please release John the Potter merch (T shirts)! I so badly wanted to purchase a Mocha Monkey shirt but there is no way to buy it when I live in Idaho. 😭
How thick are the pavers and size? I want to make 22” circles with broken China. I really like how yours looks.
Loved 👍🇺🇸❤️ yes , very cool🥰. I think I will try it in my little 🪴👍👍👍👍👍
Love them 😁👍
If you plan to actually use the stepping stones, you don't want them to be too smooth or they will be slippery when damp.
could you use paint in the mix before pouring it to the mold
Why not
I wonder how they're holding up?
Wouldn't glazed ceramic be slippery to walk on when wet?
Loved Nicholes idea of recycling the glass tiles l Went on over to David’s channel and left your request. He certainly is very good. 👍🇬🇧
They look great! Did you put anything in the box to make sure it doesnt stick?
Cover it in epoxy at your peril! Asking for a sprained ankle at minimum. 🥴 They look great as they are to me.
👍👍👍
So cool
I save my rejects to break even more on days that things get too overwhelming and I just want to smash stuff but still be an adult about it. I can totally make some of these with all the bits.
Love it!
I’d have the stepping stones lead to a bench or even an outside pottery station
Rei ficou muito bonito sol da arte também
oh my god would love to wake board..way to old...I grew up when their was just trick skis....anyway love the pavers, you should have done different shapes cause you are a potter and thats what makes pottery unique...also you should have had the "Fam" do hand prints in the mosaic ...just a thought love your channel
$4.00? How much was the cement? They’re beautiful.
Jonthepotter wants you to ride him.
Safety?
Where are the gloves?💙
What kind of cement you use to make the stepper
👌 does that cement got small gravel?
Or not?
Using broken pottery for backsplash
Que hermoso!!!! 🇦🇷🤗
