DIY Sponge Cut Cement Soaked Letters

I am loving cement based homewares at the moment. From pot plant stands to coffee tables concrete has ventured beyond flooring and counter tops and found its way to my heart! While perusing pinterest recently I found this cute DIY tutorial via Gedane and I wanted to share my own version.

If you haven't mixed concrete before it's super simple, just add water, mix to a cake batter-ish consistency pour and leave to set! The best thing about this little DIY is that you can achieve the cement rendered look in any shape or size without needing a mold.

To make your own sponge soaked cement cutout you will need:
Cement (small bag)
Scissors
Marking Pen (optional)
Bucket (for the cement mix)
Sponge (preferably not less then 1/2-1 inch thick)
Baking paper (to lay your soaked sponge shapes)

1. Start by cutting your sponge shapes. You can use a template marked out on your sponge as a guide
2. Mix cement and water in your bucket to the correct consistency
3. Dip your sponge cuts outs in the cement and soak
4. Lightly wring out leaving a veil of cement over the outside of the sponge piece
5. Leave to dry lying down
