I thought I'd share what I did two years ago. It's super easy, and they have held up very well.
My husband cut me stepping blocks (stones, lol) out of a cedar log. Great big one's about 24 inches wide. They are thick..hmmm, I'd say around 6 inches. I then went on my search for sayings to burn on them with a woodburner. Cedar burns really easy with a burner, so it wasn't that complicated. I didn't put anything over them to protect them, and although the words are not as dark as when I first did them, they are still readable.
Some of the sayings I used were....
Free Slug hunting, Salt provided
Got kids? Have chaos!
Welcome to Grand Central Station
Goose crossing, don't slip
Gone Fishin', don't wait for us
I can't think of the rest without going out and looking at them, lol.
We dug down and put the stepping blocks down flush with the ground, makes easier mowing.

Some hit real close to home-especially the goose crossing & slug hunting ones! ;D
