Beton Diamant DIY Idee

Thus the concrete diamond idea DIY is made:

Anleitung Beton Diamant

First we record to us the basic form for our later concrete diamond. On the photo you can see that the basic form reminds of a sort of fields. We cut out the hatched triangles later. It recommends to themselves to record the form first on a piece of paper and then to transfer afterwards on a piece of cardboard. If one likes the size and the form, we cut out our form with scissors.

If the basic form is cut out for our concrete diamond, we take the surfaces lying on top before and bend this easily. Also the lower part of our form is bent. We form a sort of ice-cream cone by the form. We stick this from the outside then with some adhesive tape, so that a stable diamond forms. One can attach to the safety on the point below still some adhesive tape, so that later no concrete leaks.

Thus our cardboard diamond looks if we have made everything right. Now this form is filled with concrete. In which ratio to us like her this anmischt, I have already shown you in the article concrete tree DIY. There you can read up in rest everything. If you have the concrete freshly angemischt, you fill this in the form. With possibly half you catch to you a loo roll and press this in the humid concrete. At the underside of the roll you fasten some Aulufolie, no concrete can penetrate at this point. Thereby we form a hollow cavity within our concrete diamonds.

As soon as the form to on top is full there, we smooth the surface and fasten on three corners a few small rings of a steel chain. We press this about 3-4 cm in the diamond full with concrete. Now we let our form dry about 26 hours. Then we can release our almost ready piece of art from the cardboard. When required the surface can be ground off yet something. Now one can fasten a few more other steel chain rings with tongs, so that one can also later hang up our diamond.

If we have extended the chain, we can varnish the lower piece of the diamond still gold. For this we simply stick on to us the area from and spray with some wallflower the point. If this has dried, we are ready! Now we can use our stylischen concrete diamonds immediately for two things: Equips with a tillandsia, we have a small breath of the hanging gardens of Babylon. Turned we can use our concrete to diamonds, however, also as a cool jewellery filing for all kinds of rings! By the created hollow cavity we can steal the chain simply quite fast. 😉
