And it's as simple as that:
What kind of craft materials do I need for garden decorations with edding® permanent spray and concrete?You will need chip boxes, Guglhupf moulds, tray with bowls, concrete mass, tealight glasses, Mixing cup, stirrers, spray glue, scalpel, crepe-Adhesive tape, Cord, edding® spray and edding® Protective varnish. You should also bring some water, oil, gloves, plastic bags, old newspaper, kitchen towels and something to weigh down the tealight glasses such as Sand or have stones at hand.
How do I make garden decorations with edding® permanent spray and concrete?Tea light glasses:- Remove the lids of the chip boxes and line them with a plastic bag. To make it easier to remove the concrete later, pour some oil into the bag. Now mix the concrete according to the instructions and fill half of the chip boxes.
Place the glass in the middle and weigh it down with the Sand or with stones. When the concrete has dried well, carefully remove the chipboard boxes, these are very sensitive and can crack. Also remove the plastic bag and tape the glass with masking tape and newspaper. It's best to spray the edding® paint on outdoors, seal it with Protective varnish and then decorate your Tealight holders with Cord.
Guglhupf candlesticks:Grease the silicone mould well and stir the concrete according to the instructions. Fill the concrete up to halfway into the form and prick the bottom several times with the stirrer to avoid the formation of bubbles. Afterwards you can fill up the forms to the edge and let them dry. Finally, spray the finished moulds with edding® Spray outdoors over a newspaper and fix everything in place with the Protective varnish. Now insert a stick candle into your new candle holder.
Tray with bowls:Tape the insides of the bowls and tray and spray the outside in colour. When the paint is dry, cover the outside of the bowls and tray and spray the inside in a different color. Print out the template and separate the letters with the scalpel, pay attention to the interiors from A; D; R and pick them up neatly cut out. Now spray Stencil on the back with spray glue and place it on the tray, as well as the inner spaces of A; D; R. Cover the free areas outside the lettering with masking tape and newspaper. Now spray the lettering on the tray, let the paint dry and remove the Stencil. To ensure that you can enjoy it for a long time, spray Protective varnish as a finish on your works.
