Concrete Party Candle Holder
There is actually a lot more you can do with concrete than building houses and stuff!
Usually, you have everything at home, maybe even the cement.
Mix your concrete and pour it into your cups, stick party candles or a sparkly candle into the concrete. If it’s to fluid, you will have to wait a little or place a cupcake liner on top and stick the sparkler through it so it’s fixed in the center. Let everything dry until hard, usually half a day or even faster if in the sun!
I also used cupcake liners:
After it is hard like a rock, you remove the cup:
and voila:
You can paint it as well…
More concrete madness:

Yippiehh, hope you like! By the way, it seems like you guys like my popsicle print, I’ve gotten many emails! It would be awesome if you could send me a picture once you hang it! I can feature them on my Facebook page!

Great idea Sibylle! Concrete is a cheap and easy to manipulate material, suitable to create tons of stuff! I’d never thought about celebrating with it though, thanks =)
Oh wow I love concrete! Didn’t know it was that easy to manipulate though. I’m inspired to use it for some succulent planters soon. Merci Sibylle!

Ok, my heart sort of… skipped a beat when I saw this. It’s lovely! And it seems super simple, like something even I could do. It went straight on my Pinterest DIY board!

Love this idea. I was just dreaming of concrete crafts, but figured I couldn’t do them in our small apartment. But it actually looks possible. Thanks!

Thanks Amberly! Happy weekend:-))
Be sure to wear eye protection! I have splashed the water I was mixing into my cement and had it burn my eye. The concrete is very, very caustic – highly alkaline, and it burns. I also recommend wearing heavy kitchen gloves.
Particularly love the last shot! Such a great DIY idea-may try for some outside lights-that’s if we ever get a Summer in the UK!!!

These are gorgeous. I especially liked the one where you used the cupcake liner to bring in some texture.

Super cute idea and design for summer party, thank you for sharing with craft gossip
Who knew concrete could be so cute?! Apparently, someone as super-creative as you!
Sibylle,
You should make and sell these.
These are super cool!
You think?
Absolutely!
Make them as candle holders etc…
