In principle it willdesired concrete lookachieved using any cement-based mixture found in hardware stores. The powder is mixed with water in a certain proportion. Follow the instructions on the packaging. When stirring the mixture, be careful not to stir it too vigorously, as this will introduce far too much air into the building mass and later the product will become uneven and the air bubbles will remain visible.
The most difficult part is probably how the shaping is achieved. You can easily use all kinds of packaging for this.

You can use an aluminum can for this or come up with something from other packaging. After the drying time, you can remove any blemishes with fine sandpaper or with the cutting knife.
Make cool, modern home accessories with a trendy concrete look and decorate your home with an individual touch. Have fun!
