In this manual we show you how to create your own individual bird bath in no time at all.

Concrete design with ornamental pattern

The bird bath gets its special look by creating special contours with the concrete art liner:
For this purpose, you draw any motif on the inside of the concrete casting mould with the concrete art liner. When drawing, make sure that you paint the motif negatively (mirror-inverted) and that the finished contours dry out like rubber within 2-3 hours.

During the drying time, stick wide Adhesive tape or foil on one half of Polystyrene ball . This Polystyrene ball will later serve as the basic form for the water basin of the bird bath

Now mix the concrete with water according to the instructions. Fill half of the casting mould decorated with the liner with this concrete mixture. The finished glued Polystyrene ball is placed exactly in the middle of the filled form and pressed down slightly. Then fill the heart form with the remaining concrete mix.


To weight the Polystyrene ball simply put a small Stone in and let the concrete mass harden for 24-30 hours.

After you have released the hardened bird bath from the mould, the rubber-like contours of the concrete art liner can be easily removed from the hardened concrete with a pointed object.

The bird bath can be coloured with the Marabu do it Spray.
