Decorate Your Garden with Concrete Bird Bath: Painting A Concrete Bird Bath
Start the work with the concrete bird bath bowls.
- Lay polyethylene film on a firm surface (a wooden board, a piece of metal).
- Put wet sand and form a little hill using it, so that the bird bath could accumulate water inside of it.
- Cover this little hill with a piece of polyethylene film and put a leaf (rhubarb, burdock, fern) on it.
- Make a solution. It should not be too liquid. You can either buy a ready-made concrete mixture at the hardware store or mix sand with cement by a ratio of 3 to 1. Such mixture should be diluted with water.
- This solution should be put on the leaf, thus a thickness of this layer should be about 2 cm in the middle and about 1 cm at the edges.
- Make a stand-support for liquid dish. For this purpose insert a piece of plastic pipe with a diameter of about 10 cm and the length of 10-15 cm into the center of the water dish. The pipe should be filled with cement solution.
- Cover the product with polyethylene film, leaving a gap for ventilation, and wait for its drying (at least 2-3 days).
Then just put off the polyethylene film and remove the leaf from the surface.
