subject: 3 Reasons On How You Should Make Cement Garden Ornaments [print this page] Ever day-dream about being able to make cement garden ornaments? Where did you end up with that idea? Most of us have thought about the idea once or twice, but comparatively few ever get serious about it. Lack of energy or laziness prevents some from ever really getting started. Some were uncertain about where to start, so they just fiddled around and never got started. Some were wary of the unknowns and got scared off. Still others did not understand the benefits, lacked good information, made a half-hearted attempt, failed and turned to something else.
The way to clear away the fog of uncertainty is with more good info. Maybe we need to look at the reasons that have motivated others to make cement garden ornaments.
First, it is better to buy a ready-made mold instead of making one. You make a valid point when you point out that making one gives you a more personal feeling. That may very well be true, however it is very difficult to make a mold if you are not experienced.
Second, you need to watch out on how to pour cement for garden ornaments. Plus, this is important because if you are not careful with it, there will be bubbles in your cement. And this will cause the ornament to have bubbles when it is completed. The ornament will then look weird.
Third and last, is whether you will want to color the ornament. If you want to color the ornament, you can add oxide to the cement. This is the best way to do it because the color permeates the entire cement. This will mean that the color will remain and will still be around after the wear and tear. Again, you will want to consider about adding oxide because it can be slightly pricey and the color must match your house!
Think about these reasons and how they apply to your situation. They have convinced others to make cement garden ornaments. What about you?
After considering those three reasons to make cement garden ornaments, what do you think? Should you seriously consider it too?
