Instructions in 7 steps With kneading-cement, you can achieve very individual decoration projects. You can use it e.g. to make a flower pot.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Container for kneading of the cement (e.g. bowl with lid), Disposable gloves, Stable support e.g. the lid of a plastic bucket, Plastic flowerpot ø 9 cm, Brush, Small container with water, Cling film, poss. cutter

And this is how it works:

Step 1

The flowerpot must be clean and free of grease. Always wear the gloves while working!

Step 2

Mix the kneading-cement with water in the ratio 9:1 (9 parts of cement: 1 part of water). This corresponds to about 55 ml. Stir the water slowly, gradually add it while constantly kneading. Knead the crumbly mixture with damp disposable gloves (if necessary, moisten several times) until the desired consistency is achieved.

Hint: You can mix also, quickly and easily, the kneading-cement in a sealable container. Here also add the water gradually by stirring it constantly, then close the container and shake it well. That way there is less dust and the parts intermix perfectly. Knead more afterwards the crumbly mixture with wet disposable gloves (if necessary, moisten several times) until the mixture is malleable.

Step 3

Put the kneading-cement onto the flowerpot by hands until it is coated all around. Potentially spread upwards the cement evenly with a slightly moistened brush.

Step 4

Sculpt out of the remaining cement 7 triangles that you put as a crown tines upwards around the coated pot (the connection joints should be always damp, potentially work it out with a lightly moistened brush). Stop-up the connection joints with your thumb. You can rework on the crown tines by shaping them a bit with a lightly moistened brush or decorate the pot via the modelling tool, rhinestones or cookie cutters with sophisticated patterns.

Step 5

Let it dry at least 1 day.

Step 6

You can achieve great effects by decorating the crown with a sponge stamp and the white Chalky Finish paint.

Step 7

The entire drying period lasts for several days. After about 21 days the object is weatherproof.
