MAKE MODERN CEMENT TREES

Use these stylish cement trees to create an eye-catching mantelpiece display
What you’ll need:
1. Make the cone moulds out of the plastic sheeting. Start by rolling from one corner of the sheet until it resembles a cone. When happy with the shape, roughly draw and then cut it out. Roll it into a cone again and tape up with packaging tape. Pay special attention to the tip of the tree, tape this up well so that the cement can’t drain out.
2. Mix a batch of cement using one part cement, one part sand and a half part water. Mix together well until uniform in colour. It should be the consistency of thick porridge (able to pour but not too runny).
Enjoyed the project?

How did you create the pumpkins? Did you use a plastic pumpkin as a 'mould'?
