Abstract: A method for creating illuminated stepping stones that can include customized graphic art on the interior of the substantially dome-shaped lid of the stepping stone. The method involves the use of a print that is formed, die-cut and molded to the dimensions of the interior surface of the substantially dome-shaped lid. Optionally, a white flood backing can be added. Optionally, the image can extend down the cylindrical sidewall of the stepping stone. Optionally, a non-slip surface can be added to the top of the stone. Optionally, an inverted cup attached to a base can be included on the interior portion of the stepping stone to minimize deflection when pressure is applied when stepped upon. Optionally, an opaque ring can be placed on the interior portion of the cylindrical sidewall of the stepping stone to stop the leak of light through the side. The result is a weather-resistant, decorative illuminated stepping stone that is customizable.
