You are cleaning out your garage during this year’s spring cleaning and you find a bag of concrete from an old project, what should you do with it? Here are some fun crafts you can make with concrete:
Flower Pots
Flowers pots are the perfect DIY craft you can try with concrete this spring! Most flower pots are made from ceramic or plastic, but as long as you have a drainage hole in the bottom, the material doesn’t matter. After you have created your flower pot with concrete, it would also be a fun craft to paint it! This is a great activity for children.
Coasters
The next craft you can make is coasters! Coasters have a tendency of getting grimy or breaking fairly quickly so they typically have to be replaced often. Concrete is extremely durable meaning your coasters would last longer and remain intact. You can also decorate your concrete coasters to match your interior decor!
Garden Stepping Stones
Next up, the classic garden stepping stones! These typically come in circular shapes, but you can make any shape you would like with yours! To spice up your stepping stones, you can either paint them or place marbles in the concrete as it is curing. The marbles will reflect the sunlight creating beautiful rays of color on your stepping stones. If you want to do a family activity, have your children place their hands in the curing concrete so their handprints will be there forever!
Firepit
For all you outdoor lovers, this one is for you! You can create an outdoor fire pit with concrete! Concrete can handle the intense heat of fire unlike many other materials, and it looks nice! Adding a concrete fire pit to your patio space is a great way to liven up your backyard, and it also can cook some pretty delicious food!
Vase
The last DIY craft is a flower vase. Nothing livens up a house like fresh flowers, but you can’t have flowers without a vase. Nice, study vases can cost quite a lot of money, so why not make your own? It is very simple and you can mold the concrete in any crazy or classic styles you can think of.
