How to Make Cement Mushroom Decor

I was looking for garden decorations and luckily found this tutorial by Products Construction on Youtube. Aren’t these mushrooms the cutest? I can’t believe you can easily form the shapes with just pantyhose. It’s definitely creative and simple to make! I bet you’ll have fun making this project at home. Watch the video below for full instructions.

Materials:

• pantyhose
• scissors
• cement
• water
• bowl
• glass
• large can
• elastic
• red and white paint
• sandpaper

Instructions:

Step 1:

Cut one of the legs of the pantyhose in the middle. Then insert the bottom part into a large can. Secure it with an elastic.

Step 2:

Combine cement with water. It must be a paste-like texture. Pour some into the pantyhose, then remove it from the can. Tie it with an elastic, then place it on an upside-down glass. Make sure to stretch the fabric so that it forms into a dome.

Step 3:

Get the top part of the pantyhose and toe the other end. Repeat step 2 but add more cement. Tie a string to it, then tie it to a cord or any object above, just to make sure it’s getting pulled up. Form it into a cone shape while it dries. This will be the stand.

Step 4:

Once the cement is dry, remove them from the glass and take off the pantyhose. Sand each one to make them smooth. Drill a hole in the center of the dome. For the stand, cut the top part and make it flat using a grinder.

Step 5:

Make more cement paste. It should be thick and not runny. Fill the dome with the mixture, then insert the stand. Flip it and let it dry.

Step 6:

Once dry, paint it white. After that, paint the dome in red color. Once it dries, paint circles and design it however you like.
