I always like to think outside of the box. Most would look at the plastic pumpkin buckets and only see a pumpkin. I see so many faces, I'm going to try a moon, scarecrow, pumpkin, black cat etc.... you get the picture! I might do the moon next. I am thinking this will make a great class in the month August for "Witchy Weekend" in 2018. Now if your flying in for a class this one might not be for you as that concrete witch is heavy!! LOL!
From This.....
The gang is all lined up. I sprayed the inside of the bucket to keep the concrete from sticking. Now I'm not sure you would have to do this, but I figured better safe than sorry. Remember if you buy concrete mix buy the quikcrete mortar mix to get the smoother pumpkin! I saved cans for inserting in the centers to hold flowers later. The sarah wrap was to place over the top.

 | Tip of the week: Concrete can be very porous, Yes, I know there are all kinds of concrete sealers out there but I was in a hurry to paint and I reached for my DecoArt MagiKote (which is made for coating Styrofoam.) I evenly applied it all over any exposed concrete areas before painting and I have to tell you it worked like a Magic!!!!! Painting was so much easier using the MagiKote . It helped prevent the concrete from soaking up my paint! See always think outside of the box!! |
So I sent hubby to Wal-mart over the weekend for more Pumpkin buckets and he bought them all! So we will be able to make lots of witches next year in 2018!!! Did I mention I love my hubby!
So, I am heading off into the weekend for two days of teaching classes and I won't have a blog up until maybe next Tuesday . Maybe I will share some class happening from the weekend.
Have a blessed weekend!
