How to Make a Concrete Garden Leaf

By DIY Maven

According to the Havekosts, making decorative concrete leaves for your garden is inexpensive and quite easy. And the outcome....fantastic! What you'll need to make one of your own includes:

  • A working table of a comfortable height. The Havekosts suggest erecting a temporary one made of two sawhorses and a sheet of plywood.
  • A leaf with a nice shape and pattern. You can use small or large leaves, but, personally, I'd opt for the biggest I could find!
  • Sand
  • A thin sheet of plastic
  • Chicken wire
  • Concrete

Those few things and the Havekosts' easy tutorial and that's it!
