MUSHROOMS FROM CONCRETE MORTAR AND PLANTS FOR DECORATING THE COTTAGE WITH YOUR OWN HANDS
Concrete crafts are a pretty fun and inexpensive hobby. I want to tell you how to make beautiful mushrooms, fly agarics, which will decorate any area, and pots for flowers in the loft style.
DO-HAND CONCRETE FLANSPAIRS
1. Cooking two mushroom legs. To do this, drill two through holes in a plastic tube in a crosswise manner and insert a thick wire into them for the frame under the cap. Cut out a circle of suitable diameter from a metal plaster mesh with cells of 10 × 10 mm and fix it with a thin wire to the guides (photo 1). We wrap a piece of mesh and a leg (photo 2)
2. Check if the cap frame fits the size of the plastic container. Bend the edges and shape if necessary. We perform the second fungus in the same way, but to fill the cap we will use a piece of a plastic bottle with a neck. We form the shape of the frame for it (photo 3)
3. We dilute with water a mixture of cement and sand (1: 3) to the consistency of liquid sour cream. Pour it into a plastic container and part of the bottle. We put the caps inside (photo 4) Dry for a day.
4. We take out the blanks. If the plastic container is not removed, we warm the bottom with a construction hairdryer, the plastic expands from this and the concrete easily lags behind the walls. In the case of a bottle, cut the edge of the plastic with a knife and tear it off in a spiral.
5. We dilute a thicker solution. We put a large mushroom in a bowl, moisten dry concrete with water and begin to lay out the layer of the cap and leg. Then from the mesh we cut out a circle with a hole for attaching the "skirt" of the fly agaric. We fix it on the leg and apply the solution on top. We draw the plates with a skewer (photo 5). We design a small mushroom in the same way. We leave to dry. Then we put the tubes of the legs on any pins (I have a rake) and add the missing volumes in two caps on top.
6. In a small container we dilute the liquid cement mortar, fill it with a syringe and squeeze the droplets onto the caps (photo 6) Sand the finished products with sandpaper, primer and paint with acrylic paints, cover with varnish.
7. On the plot, drive two pins into the ground and put mushrooms on them.

PANEL WITH YOUR OWN HANDS
For the formwork, we use a cake box and a plastic mayonnaise bucket. In the latter, we cut off the top with a clerical knife to the required height. We coat two blanks with sunflower oil: a box from the inside, a bucket - outside.
We fall asleep in the last sand, tamp, spray the top with water. We cover with a container from the cake, hold it with our hands and turn it over sharply (photo 7) We glue the box with several turns of masking tape so that the shape does not distort when pouring. We dilute the cement-sand mortar (1: 3).
We pour a little mass into another container and add the dye. Then we pour it back, but do not mix until homogeneous, but we get clear boundaries of two colors of concrete. Fill the workpiece with the resulting mass (photo 8)
We level the top with a spatula, after 12 hours we make a hole to drain the water. Wrap in plastic wrap and leave for 7 days. Then we cut and remove the box, remove the sand and carefully take out the bucket (photo 9)
