Unique concrete products for do-it-yourself landscape design

Unique art objects for landscape design on the site are of great value. Yes, and there are very few such proposals. The culture of creating beautiful compositions on the sites is not developed here. Even an alpine slide is only for the rich. And you can do it yourself with almost zero cost. As a rule, in our plots we have a culture of cultivation of beds.

You can diversify your site with interesting landscape design techniques with such mushrooms and pumpkins cast from concrete. Cast without any silicone molds. To do this, you will need women's nylon tights and plastic bags.

To make a pumpkin, take women's tights (a cut from a stocking). Tie on one side and apply thick concrete (in the proportion of sand-cement 3 to 1 with a plasticizer), and tie with a rope to get slices.

If you are making a small pumpkin, you can tighten it with rubber bands. In the center for maximum imitation of the shape - you need to put a piece of rag. You can use a plastic bag instead of a stocking. But it is more difficult to work with him - he does not last.

When the concrete grabs a little, the tights can be pierced with a sharp object and the branches from the tree can be inserted there. Not too long as in the photo, but up to 5 cm will be enough.

After the concrete has set, we release the product from the material (stocking or film), sand the unevenness with sandpaper and paint it with tinted facade paint.

The manufacturing process is shown in the video.

Have you seen such products on sale anywhere? Mostly only flowerpots are sold. Or the demand for this has not yet been created? You can be the first, because products are exclusive.

Apples can be made using this technique, but without being tied with a rope. The main thing is to press the mass deep into the top center. And the concrete for apples should be thicker, should keep its shape. We also stick a branch into the mass.

Let's move on to making mushrooms from concrete:

For mushrooms, you will also need women's tights. We dilute the concrete, fill the stocking and hang one edge to form the shape of the mushroom leg, and the other end stood on a horizontal surface.

We also make a hat from a stocking. You need to get a recess in the hat. To do this, we put it on the bottle and leave it until it cures. Or you can do it differently: we place the glass bottle in a stocking, fill it with concrete, tighten the stocking and push it into the neck.

After we have formed the leg, we put on the hat. You will get a monolithic mushroom and less concrete per leg. The bottle will still be a kind of reinforcement. After curing, it will be necessary to free the concrete from the nylon, grind and paint. If, nevertheless, you made the leg and the cap separately, then then it is easy to connect them on the solution.

You can make mycelium in a couple of hours. I saw that some people even make a table and chairs in the form of such a mycelium with installation under a tall tree.

Amanita can be made using various plastic plates. To make the hat not smooth, but with defects, a pattern - put large leaves (burdock or cabbage) inside the plate.
