i have made soooo many of these with stained glass. Its pretty simple, you can hand cut the glass to any shape you want. and put the shapes together to make designs, once the designs are finished you lay contact paper on the top and pick up the design. Then you place that in the bottom of the frame and pour the concrete on the top. once dry, you flip the mold out and remove the contact paper, perfectly flawless everytime and you dont need all that water and the brushing at all..the glass is perfectly sitting at the top all surrounded by concrete... You can do this with colored concrete and all sorts of shapes. they are called mosaic stepping stones.. your video was awesome, thanks,
Awesome

Darf ich fragen was ein Kotaktpapier ist .LG aus Österreich
@@christaahamer8235 it has a sticky side after you peel the protective paper off...can be used to line kitchen shelves. In this case...you use the sticky side to pick up your mosaic design, then lay glass side up in the bottom of your concrete form. Pour the concrete on top, let set, flip it over, & your mosaic is revealed after removing the contact paper.
Do you have a video of this process? Sounds interesring😊
I would love to see you do this in a video. Do you have a youtube channel? Thanks for sharing!!!!
I literally just yelled WOW when I saw him rinsing these. Mind blown! 👀
Me too
Yep!! 😍
Man I love the simplicity and also your transparency in informing people how they can do their own projects. Thank you so much for not being one of those Pros who is uninformative and unhelpful because they want all the money for themselves. I appreciate you for giving DIYers like myself who want those aesthetics around their homes but do not want to pay that big price. Looking forward to more vids
I love your videos! I live in the area and it's fun to see your projects. I think both stepping stones are wonderful, both really "pop" and say WOW! I prefer the all-over coverage because it doesn't matter what you put on it it will be visible and dazzle the eyes. It would be a good stepping stone to support a pot without losing the color burst dazzle. The swirl is a good accent stepping stone without a pot on it, like a beautiful burst of happy color.
That 100% covered one looks amazing, I think some red,orange and yellow glass would look awesome around a fire pit
Yes it would.
TY
Definitely,it would look amazing!!
That's my choice as well. I'm going to save this in my memory banks for a future project.
Oh YES
hh*
I want you to know I have learned so much from your channel in my concrete/masonry journey over the past few years (building a walkway that surrounds my house, bottle brick walls, stepping stones, etc!) I don't know if everything would look as well as it does without your expert advice and tutorials. Thank you good sir!
Sounds nice
GL
TY
After you got finished we didn’t need to watch the video. Maybe you should start your own channel and skip over the middleman! SMH
I have one thing to say...WOW! I have some bags of coloured stone, I'd love to try this! Thanks! I like both designs by the way!
One of the best illustrated concepts on concrete paver methods I’ve ever seen.
Ver patient and precise language.
Excellent job man!
TY
This came out awesome. I prefer the fully covered one. If I ever do a new patio, I’m definitely doing this.
Sounds good
TY
@@herhuy70 Thank god I live in California, I LOVE IT!!
Hey David, handy tip for glass on projects like this. If you break up your own glass, you can tumble it in a cement mixer with sand to knock off the sharp edges safely. Then sieve the glass out of the sand.
Good idea
TY
any DIYers please wear a mask if you make any dust from glass cutting or otherwise.
The fully covered is my favorite, it's beautiful !
This is similar to what I believe the ancient people applied to making their own granite from scratch.
It's called "terrazzo", the romans used it.
Yes it could be
The timing of everything... embedding, rinsing & brushing is critical and so clearly explained. TY!
Your right timing is essential
TY
These are beautiful! Thank you for sharing! I prefer the all over coverage, because it reallllly pops!
Me too
TY
Wow David! This was a special treat for us. Thanks for taking the time for this great lesson. A real education for sure.
YW
Very cool. I like the full cover one. Loving the broken colored glass pieces used. For another type usage of small glass pieces, I used the round bubble look glass pieces on my bathroom wall with caulking. It makes it look like bubbles are moving up the wall, in different sizes, some have mother of pearl look. Maybe could use them in concrete stepping stones as well. They come in different colors at Michaels Craft stores and some at Dollar General. Thanks for sharing your project, very interesting.
5/3/22...glass in 18" square ⬛ stepping stones or planter foottings...very nice/creative change to watching your very hard back-breaking driveway/patio jobs.
👍👌💛Like this idea David! Both work for me! Glad you told us to use >sealer< to prevent/minimize future staining.
Give us armchair viewers more of your ideas 💡 👍👍👍😊⚙🔜
Gorgeous! 💕
I prefer the all-over coverage.
Me too
TY
Me too ✋ fantastic work 👏 👍
as a single tile yes it looks better. But I can imagine the second design will shine once many of them are placed next to each other covering a large area. even a single big star made of several tiles would be nice.
Just fantastic. Seeing the effect as you hosed off the top was great. Beautiful job.
Thank you very much!
wow!! I LOVE THIS!!! For me personally, I would LOVE to see them in a heart design done with purple glass!! What an incredible idea!!
Sounds good
Next time
I love blue glass colour. And the combination for stepping stones! Now I need lawn to decorate. Beautiful work.
Thank you! 😊
I don't think there's anybody out there that does better concrete work. Amazing work, always enjoy watching someone who takes so much pride in their work.
I concur
TY
Thank you for sharing! I want to do my own driveway and this is really helpful! I love how you explained it so simply for non-handy people like myself. Thank you again for giving us DIYs some insight, especially for those who are tight on budget... or no budget for a pro! lol I'm definitely going to watch your videos moving forward!
Your welcome
GL
love the full coverage stone. Thanks so much for the professional breadcrumbs. Amazing!
Glad you like it!
They're both worthy pieces and giving me ideas. Think I'm trying this for a few 20" x 42" steps for a walkway. Great stuff David, thanks for the lessons.
YW
TY
GL
The 100% coverage is my favorite and when I paint my house next year I think I’m gonna redo my sidewalk and driveway with this DIY idea! Thank you so much for this video!
Go for it
TY
Great job! I come from a family of brick-masons. As a matter of fact, my father wasn’t just a brick-mason, he was a, “brickologist!” (He taught brick-masonry at a tech.school) I also have family members who are in the concrete-finishing business, and you’ve done them all proud!
Great
Thanks
So beautiful, thank you so much for sharing such a simple and magical way to use glass and concrete.
I concur
TY
You blew my mind!!!! I loved the 100% full one. Thank you so very much for making it. Thumbs up!!!!
YW
This honestly turned out far better than I would have ever expected!! WOW man👍🤩👏👏👏really nice job💛
Me too
TY
Thank you for this information and the way you convey it! I'm a true novice at concrete and wanted to get some information for a small project. (a concrete slab to hold a statue) I did "okay" with the initial project but, of course, things like leveling, tools and a knowledge base left it lacking. I appreciate the way you share your concrete wisdom! Hope it works!
TY
GL
My aunt and uncle had a unique patio with thundereggs enbedded in the concrete. I always liked to walked over it and enjoy the unique designs in each of thoses rocks.
Blessings, I love the way both stepping stones turned out to be, and the one that I love the most is when you filled up the whole stepping stone.😊
You are so welcome
Very very nice!, I cut out the shape I wanted in the lawn by removing the turf and used that instead of a frame , also coloured stones and pebbles not glass for a lily pad like more rustic stepping stone... I really like this Guy's work
I like it, specially the one that you fully covered. It's so interesting how the glass pieces surface on their flat sides.
I didn't think of that until now. I think the reason for that is when the glass lands on top, it lands flat and not on its side or ends. That's why you want to pound it straight down not to roll it over.
@@OdellCompleteConcrete From South Africa. Like both of them. Going to try that! Other designs to. If I can get the glass here. Otherwise I will have to make my own. Thank you.
Just having coffee this morning and watching missed videos. These are great Dave. Idk which one I like better. The cool thing is you are really able to do whatever you want with this technique. You could do 100% coverage as a walk way to your garden, then in the garden have designs. Make some ⭐, ⭕, 🌞, ❌... anything.
Yes its very versitile
Concreted in a drain cover and surround in my garden last year ( first ever attempt working with concrete - thought I’d save money and have a go myself) - now after seeing this it’s given me inspiration to make it look a little more interesting.
Many thanks - subscribed
Right on
Have fun
when you started throwing the glass in there i was like NAAAAA... then at the end i was like OOOOHHHHHH lol that looks GREAT man.
Turned out nicer than I expected
@@OdellCompleteConcrete yes it did . I need you to do my walkway :)
I used to think that about watching some experts at work and then kept watching because these people are experts and the view count speaks for that.
I love Odell's work and the fact he has a moderate attitude with it.
Also, he can get down on his knees and not make it look uncomfortable!
Those pavers are really something by design and could serve many uses, such as a private home memorial for any deceased loved one. Maybe add a stone glass initial as suggested. Or maybe just to place a pot and bunch of flowers when you can't make a visit to the grave or cemetary.
Today is my mothers birthday who unfortunately passed away several years ago.
Mr O, you have started something now.
Karma will love you, as do I.

This is great. What pride he has. He truly loves concrete
TY
I love the 100% covered one the best. Can’t wait to try my own.
I like the fully covered stepping stone, its beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful! Planned on doing some concrete DIY's soon & definitely will do this! Love it!
Awesome
Love it.
wow that is beautiful. I was confused why you were covering everything with the concrete but I'm speechless with how it turned out. simply beautiful.
TY
That's amazing! 12:04 the full square filled with glass is so beautiful.
I concur
TY
I liked the full covered stone too! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Me too
Beautiful! Think I'll give it a try! Also, I'm glad you encouraged patience, because I'd be inclined to mess with it too early and mess it up.
YW
GL
I have to admit i was sceptical in the beginning. But it turned out really cool(as always with your work) 💪🏻 /Fredrik 🇸🇪
Me too to be honest, but I liked the results
It sure did turn out nice!
Same. I almost gave this a thumbs down lol until the glass was exposed at the end. The full coverage glass slab looks great!
@@r0mediddy Sure does
Nice job
Really pretty - thank you for taking the time to make this. I love making stepping stones.
YW
TY
As a stained glass and mosaic artist, I have lots and lots of scrap glass. Usually, I will tumble the glass pieces and use them in mosaic designs. I never thought of using them in concrete steps or surfaces out of doors. This is a great idea. Can't wait to try it!
Go for it
GL
Just caught your video on CZcams, and it was just the one I needed! Now I feel like I can really make those "princess" stones my granddaughter loves! I'm sure I'll be watching the again real soon. Like your style!
Yup call the pump truck I need to do a couple stepping stones!
I have a huge collection of random stones that I've collected and this is just the video I needed! So glad that I found your channel today.
Awesome
GL
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience in demonstrating how to incorporate colored glass pieces into cement. I prefer the cement block that has the blue glass pieces covering the entire top.
hi!🙋🏽♀️ Im new here but just wanted to quickly comment..
You are super likable!😄 and you come off very professional, kind, calm, patient and a great teacher too.
Like a gentle soul🤗💛
anyway, I really enjoyed watching, listening and learning your craft! Its very cool to see, its all very new for me
Thank you
Great description
Inside House Counter Tops; smaller glass particles; personalized 4X4 tiles in center ( 8x8 Center Horizontal center pieces & glass in plastic cement with outline around all tiles; spacers between tiles as you would grout; sponge washing). looks great on outside built bbqs
I love your voice so soothing! Your concreting isn't bad either ;)
Great
TY
I love his voice also, especially when I have insomnia some nights.
I agree. I find these videos to be so relaxing. Plus I learn a lot, too.
The all over design is my favorite. Should look great in the sun! Thanks!
I concur
TY
Very cool. Love the full-body glass square with the blue glass. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to try it.
In the Beginning I'm like... NO way! This was a fantastic art touch to all concrete builds.
Wow, thanks!
The solid one looks great! When I was younger we made stepping stones time capsules so I had quarters and my name embedded in beach sand
Very cool!
What do you mean by beach sand?
@@krisski6453 when I lived in Hawaii I went to the beach and grabbed some sand. After I wrote my name in the concrete and it dried I mixed epoxy and the beach sand in it to fill in where my name was
Amazing. Thanks for posting this. What a great idea!
If you don’t have a shirt with the slogan “Nobody does it like Odell does it.” You should. Love your work, it’s absolutely satisfying watching you and your crew finish the concrete.
Good idea
TY
Great idea and nice outcome. I thought that making a design as an "S" and then linking them together so it looks like a river running through the stones would be an interesting one to try, to create a meandering stream with the blue stones.
Yes thats what I was initially thinking
One thing I think would look interesting is black sand. I encountered it when I worked in janitorial supply. Large buildings use it to put in ash trays as it looks more decorative
Yes
Cool
Absolutely gorgeous! I've been looking for stepping stones for my walkways and around the chicken coop! Thank you ❤
I love both! I think making them different adds to the beauty!
Good idea
GL
So HAPPY to find this video! I've wanted to do this for a VERY LONG TIME; but I was unable to find a "certified professional concrete contractor" to demonstrate how to do it correctly! . . . It looks BEAUTIFUL and you look like you had FUN using your creativity! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.
It's fun trying new stuff when it works
Thanks for this interesting and informative video! You have a nice, relaxed demeanor and are obviously skilled at this. I prefer the sunburst and would imagine you could use stencils and place the glass pieces within the stencil ?
Yes I think the stencil would make the object crystal clear
This is one of the those trust the process vides😂, came out fire👍🏼
This is just what I was looking for, thank you. They came out so pretty.
Your welcome
TY
Dude, You're a concrete artist. Thanks for the info.
I appreciate that!
Guy is definitely an artist! Beautiful work.
I was so looking forward to the river of blue design, and then you changed your mind. Hahahaha..
I'll do that next time
P
the homestead of my grandparents, they poured cement steps and walkway to the front doorway late 1920's. The house was built before 1900, No running water and indoor toilet.(outhouse out by the backdoor). Fond memories of my childhood. The built a brand new house closer to the road. And in the sidewalk, Gramma pushed antique marbles with the date the cement was poured with the hand prints of the babies. The marbles always bright and shiny. One of the grandkids asked for the piece with all the marbles, when they decided to tear the house down. Today you'd never know there had been a house there. All the outbuildings torn down, and tiled the natural spring that ran clear, cool and clean all year round.
Sounds nice
Love the 100% glass beautiful work
Thank you! Cheers!
I love how he can't stay focused on a specific goal for more than 30 seconds or so.
It makes my severe ADHD condition seem like a blessing.
This is beautiful!
TY
RED, GREEN WITH BLUE... IN MY BACK GARDEN WITH THOSE LOVELY EVENING LIGHTS AND A RELAXING SONG... WITH ALL THOSE GLITTERING STARS FROM THE FLOOR MADE BY ARTIST ODELL... AND I THINK TO MYSELF.... "WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD?!!!?"
Beautiful song
TY
Had to watch all the way through to see how they came out. Loved them! Really nice project. I might have to try to make some for the garden.
Go for it
GL
Living in Florida, for a decade in my past, terrazzo floors became popular again ... and it's very creative with all the color schemes. Do you guys have any projects with terrazzo
Not yet, but this would look good buffed out
Prefer terrazzo to tile myself. Less maintenance. Non slip. It's a veneer over the slab.
Imagine that all over the driveway !! Now that would be awesome !!!!
Yes and also porch and walkway would be beautiful
Thanks for this. I had a project I wanted to do with tempered glass pieces but had no idea how to do it - this answered my question. I liked the full coverage paver you made here the best. The blue is a beautiful color
Glad I could help!
Love the full glass stepping stone and the blue is amazing!
TY
I really liked the way you took your knowledge of concrete to create something artistic to enjoy. Really cool.
TY
The covered one. Maybe two types of color. The Blue with a teal green... Ocean water colors
With the outrageous price of stepping stones, might as well design your own. Absolutely beautiful, especially the one entirely covered. Thanks for the video
WOW!!! So beautiful. Thankyou. I've been wanting to do DIY pavers. Thanks for the tips.
YW
Would this have sharp edges? I would love to do this in my walkway from my lake to house but worried about wet bare feet getting cut.
Yes that is my concern as well, you may cut yourself walking on them with bare feet if any of the sharp edges are exposed. Maybe you can use the rounded glass beads you can get from the garden section, they kind of like flat marbles.
Glass is kind of strange, its almost a liquid. Over time any sharp edges will dull down. In this case though, he specifically mentions using tempered glass. Commonly called safety glass. It breaks into squares not sharp shards so its a bit harder to cut yourself. I think being in concrete also offers a layer of protection because not enough of any rare sharp edge is exposed to cut into your skin. What I mean is your foot is supported either side by the concrete so the glass cant really cut you
w o wwwwwwww keep doing beauties like this , I love it, what kind glass and where to buy? Thank you
The full covered stepping stone.Beautiful.Your video gives me lots of ideas for my future projects.
Great
GL
Absolutely amazed!! Great job. Thank you for showing us how to do this.
YW
"Keep beating it until the cream rises"- "you don't want to edge it early"
Really man ?🤣🤣🤣
For sure
Once you go early- you’re in trouble
🤣🤣
I know I was peeing my pants. And nobody seemed to have caught it. I mean even the camera guy or for that matter anyone around that just heard what he was saying. Love the fact I'm not the only one. Reminds me of bridal showers when someone just starts writing comments of things she heard and then reads it all at the end. Hillarious stories. Who knew lol great job though loved it. I have a question I have been messing around with those planters made with old Jean's/shorts. They never say no matter how times they were asked what the ratio is. It's really smooth I've tried everything and seems to come out like dry and peeling.
Don't worry about those glass shards on the lawn, I'll find them with my bare feet later.
Thanks for the help
I Like these instructions. I need a new sidewalk in my front yard, and I'm looking at this as a great intensive for a smart looking sidewalk - or pathway. I might make them bigger, but it's better than buy and lugging home those 2x2 pieces of heavy cement. I am past 70, and this looks like a great creative idea for me. Hopefully it will keep me sane in this crazy world today. Thank you so very much for sharing your video.
YW
GL
This is so beautiful. I loved every moment watching you create something so wonderful. I hope the person you made it for likes it as much as me. That goes without saying. Great job. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
They both look amazing, however; I LOVE the completely glassed covered one. I'm inspired.
Me too
TY
Superb! Thanks for all the detail information you included, that is super helpful. I have an old cut-glass stepping stone that is crumbling. It has a sun-in-splendor design, and now i might use this technique to make a new one!
Go for it
GL
I like the all covered one. Wow, that really came out pretty. The trick is patience, I thought it would dry too much, so thank you for showing this video.
YW
GL
I did this with green cement and green tumbled glass on my sidewalk entry to a red brick winged wall stairway with clear glass stair risers, (2 ) round glass columns (1 on each side of entry that lights up RGB)and black slate stair treads. My brick layer is a true artist and man !!! we just started sealing it all with Ghostshield 4400 high gloss wet look. They gaurentee it wont discolor glass in walkway. The risers on the winged stairs are made of solid glass block. It will light up as well in RGB . Hats off to Trevor Moore. He made my dream come true. A total 1 off jaw dropping entry to my home !
Awesome
Those stepping stones are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing!
YW
Art meets function in the hand and imagination of a gifted man. It looks great, and inspires me to try!
Go for it
TY
Beautiful work! I love the full coverage one, but both are stunning! Hugs
ty
The stone which was completely covered is beautiful. Thank you for the video, I learned something. I did not know the concrete would wash off those glass pieces.
Great
TY
Beautiful! I would love to do either a kitchen backsplash or counter top in this technique. Thanks for the instruction!
Me too
