So many times, I stumble across lists of DIY projects that claim to be the best thing ever and they do look like the best thing ever but the main problem with them is that either you need a ton of materials or simply a lot of effort is required. I mean, it’s not really a big deal but when you’re busy and just need a little bit of downtime to remember how much you love making handmade things for your home, it kinda sucks and the end result doesn’t seem worth all that effort.

Ever tried your hands at making things by using concrete before? It’s so easy to make (contrary to what it looks like), cheap and the end result looks stunning! From impeccable wall planters, frames, to even modern coasters, these DIY concrete project ideas are sure to blow your mind.
