• Quick Crete
• Glitter, Small Rocks, etc.
• Small Pails

• This is an incredibly cute, easy, unique and wonderful gift for your parents. Simply spray the pail with Cookie Spray. Then have a child put in what they want in the bottom of the bucket (small pebbles, jewels, glitter etc.) Finally mix some Quick Crete (Only mix amount needed for a couple of stones at a time, so that you insure that it does not dry too quickly) and pour it into the pail. Let it dry for a few days. Then turn the pail over. Use your hand to hold the stone and gently tap the pail until the stone comes free. All of my parents Loved Them!
