Copper Countertops Under 20$ What????
Three of the 4 squares in this picture are real copper countertops, gorgeous, shiny, and expensive. However one of these squares is MY copper countertop. Which is also gorgeous, shiny, but cost less than $20 and as it turns out, is made of concrete.

Sorry, one more thing - I know absolutely nothing about concrete, or the different kinds. If you could please, make a (super cheap, like less than $20) suggestion for a particular product. Thank you so much!

When I made this project (3 years ago) Henry’s was the cheapest, but Ardex is also inexpensive. At that time Henry’s was 17$ per box. It’s now in the mid 30’s. However the Link Hometalk provides (above) you can find it for 22$ But Amazon has Ardex for 32$. And since reading your comment, that’s the cheapest I could find other than Hometalk’s link..... so here is the link for that.
Ardex Feather Finish Grey/Gray/Gris Self-Drying Cement Based Bag 10 Lbs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004GUAIT8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_EGUpDb8NXCJ3R
sorry I couldn’t find a cheaper option for you!

Wow! I'm thinking of our very out-dated bathroom sinks, and this may be the ticket! Madison, one concern, however--you were careful to use gloves when applying the concrete, but I noticed you didn't when applying the copper product and the blue. Our skin is one of the most absorptive organs, and the chemicals in these products are very toxic. Maybe next time you have a similar project, just keep those gloves on! :)

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Can I use any kind of concrete? I'm looking for the cheapest option possible. And I will only need a small amount. Thanks!
I AM IN LOVE!!!! Do you think this could work if your countertop has the molded sink in it?(straight outta the 90s over here) Could it handle water? Thanks so much!!
Did you film the backsplash or do you have another link? Would love to see
