DIY Concrete Christmas Ornaments

Thanks For Sharing!

Each year, I have a tradition of making one new set of handmade ornaments for our Christmas tree. I love bringing them out each year knowing they were made with love for our family to enjoy. This year I had an idea of making DIY Concrete Christmas Ornaments. I haven’t seen these done before and I have never tried, so this was a total experiment! And…. I think they turned out pretty well!

Best part, you literally only need TWO things to make these, plus a little water!

Learn how to make these DIY Faux Concrete Ornaments using Henry Feather Finish Concrete on top of plastic ball ornaments.

I love the texture of these ornaments. They are industrial yet chic and you’d never know they are completely hollow inside.

How To Make Concrete Ornaments

Supplies:

  • Henry Feather Finish Concrete
  • Plastic Ball Ornaments
  • Ribbon for embellishment ( I love this deer print ribbon!)

This process is SO simple. You mix the concrete powder with water. And stir until you get the consistency of peanut butter.

I simply used a spoon to gloop it on and swirl it around. Make sure to cover the entire plastic. Don’t worry about it perfect smooth, the roughness gives it character and texture.

I created this little drying rack while the concrete dried. You will need to let them dry overnight. The color will change and dry a lot lighter.

To top them off, I dipped a few of them in white paint to add a more modern element. You could also paint your own designs.
