This reusable ABS tortoise mold lets you cast your own concrete stepping stones directly in place — each one featuring a tortoise relief with a central depression designed to hold soil and small plantings. The result is a path that looks handmade because it is, with the kind of organic character that manufactured pavers cannot replicate. Clean between uses with a garden hose and cast as many stones as your path requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 16px 0; display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background: #f5f0eb; border-radius: 20px; padding: 6px 16px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eReusable ABS Mold\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"background: #f5f0eb; border-radius: 20px; padding: 6px 16px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eTortoise Relief Design\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"background: #f5f0eb; border-radius: 20px; padding: 6px 16px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 600;\"\u003ePlanting Depression\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"background: #f5f0eb; border-radius: 20px; padding: 6px 16px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eHose-Clean\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"background: #f5f0eb; border-radius: 20px; padding: 6px 16px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eDIY Concrete Path\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"background: #f5f0eb; border-radius: 20px; padding: 6px 16px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eIndoor \u0026amp; Outdoor Use\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 1px solid #e8e0d8; border-radius: 8px; padding: 16px; margin: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: 600; font-size: 15px; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eSize Guide\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 12px; overflow-x: auto;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 13px;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background: #f5f0eb;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 8px 12px; text-align: left;\"\u003eDimension\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 8px 12px; text-align: left;\"\u003eMetric\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 8px 12px; text-align: left;\"\u003eImperial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eMold outer size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e44.5 × 38.5 × 4 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e17.52 × 15.16 × 1.57 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background: #faf8f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eTortoise casting area\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e40 × 34 × 3.8 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e15.74 × 13.39 × 1.50 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eABS plastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eABS plastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background: #faf8f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 11px; color: #aaa; margin-top: 8px;\"\u003e† Dimensions refer to the mold itself, not the finished concrete stone.
