A real eye-catcher for your garden decorations. With the help of the concrete liner you can give your concrete forms filigree ornaments and much more in no time at all.

How the relief on the concrete surface is created

Draw your personal relief design or simply print out our motif template. The casting mould "houses" is transparent. Therefore your motif can be placed directly under the casting mould. For easier handling, cut out the individual templates and attach them to the bottom of the casting mould with a little Adhesive tape .

Now carefully trace the contour lines of the motif templates on the inside surface of the casting mould with the concrete art liner. The contour compound from the concrete art liner dries out like a rubber within 2-3 hours.

Next, mix the creative concrete with water according to the packaging instructions and fill the casting moulds with the resulting casting compound. The concrete is hardened after approx. 24-30 hours, so that your finished mould can be removed from the casting mould

The work of art is almost finished! The rubber-like latex mass of the painted relief can easily be pulled out of the recesses of the concrete mould with a pointed object and removed. A beautiful relief has been created.

Your self-cast concrete houses will look especially decorative if you wrap them additionally with a natural-coloured jute cord

Arrange the concrete houses together with other self made decorations:

Combine your concrete houses with self-poured planters, model small birds or build sophisticated herb towers
