Hi everyone! In this craft we are going to see how to make cement. The cement is used to make a lot of crafts as well as fudge at home. We can make figures, flowerpots, etc ...
Do you want to know how you can do it?
Materials that we will need to make cement
- Cement
- Sand
- Water
- Container
- Paddle or other mixing instrument
- Gloves
Hands on craft
- The first thing we are going to do is prepare all materials that we are going to need. If we are going to make the cement and we will protect the area where we are going to do it. If we are going to make a lot of quantity and we are going to use a cart as a container, the ideal is to make the cement in an area close to where we are going to use it.
- Now let's protect our hands by putting on gloves. This is important since cement can damage our hands, drying them out and burning them.
- We will mix in a container 3 parts of sand to one of cement and the other of water. That is the ideal ratio for any job we want to do. If we use a concrete mixer, we will put all the materials at the same time, but the same quantities and we will turn on the concrete mixer and that's it.
- First we will cast the dry materials, that is to say, sand and cement. We will mix them well.
- We add the water and stir again until well mixed. We have to avoid lumps.
- Before starting to use the mixture the we will let it rest a little, We can take advantage of that time to prepare the other things that we will need to make the craft where we want to use it.
We leave you some ideas for using cement:
And ready! We already know how to prepare a basic material for handymen or to make a lot of different crafts.
I hope you cheer up and make crafts using cement.
