Great work, very innovative and inexpensive !!!

Thanks.  cheap is what I was looking for.  lol. I always see tutorials for egg carton stones/bricks, but I never get cardboard cartons.....too expensive! Lol i was pleased to find the trays work just as well for the stone. :)

Looks fantastic

Thanks. :)

Thanks.  I use actual tile grout (the powder, not pre-made).  I mix up a bowl full and instead of adding plain water, I add a good dose of elmer's glue to the mix. The grout tends to fall out/crack without the glue. I then use a toothpick to apply the grout. Make sure your grout isn't too runny or too thick. You want it runny enough that you can pick up some with your toothpick, then it slowly rolls down into the space you are filling, for lack of a better way to put it.  I hope that makes sense.  also, if it's too runny, it will cause your paper stones to absorb too much water, which will result in layers of the paper coming off, and sometimes will cause them to pop up, then you have to glue them back down. It's annoying.  if you have any other questions, feel free to ask, I will attempt to answer as best as I can.

Yep, toothpicks. Lol it is time consuming, but I like not having to clean up the "stones". Plus, it gives me more control on how thick, etc. my grout lines are
