Easy DIY Decoration

This bookend works great and look modern and stylish. This is my first instructable and I hope you enjoy it!

- Cardboard/Plastic mold
- Knife
- Fine Concrete
- Rubber Mallet (optional)
- Glue ( Hot Glue works Best)

If you would like to repurpose it you can add a tube in the middle at the beginning and make it a flower pot instead!

In my case I built a hexagonal shape with card board and put oven paper in it so it wouldn’t stick when I get it out. If you do not want to go through the hassle of making the actual mold then you can buy one at the Home Depot.

Make sure the cement is fine like in the picture I used casting cement, mix according to the package. When it’s ready pour the mixture into your mold and set it overnight.

When you take it out of the mold you have it pull out the oven paper and peel it off, Sid you are using a plastic mold, lay it down on soft cloth and hit it gently with the rubber mallet a few times until it comes out. If it doesn’t come out hit it with increasing force.

Now you have a beautiful decoration for placing on the table just for looks or using it as a bookend! Thanks for reading my instructable!
