DIY Customized Concrete Bookends
Last week was my birthday, and I vowed to do three things at twenty-eight – learn to make great Thai food at home, become at least moderately proficient in Adobe Illustrator, and learn to make stuff from concrete.
I’ve been meaning to, and I’ve played a bit with it for outside stuff, but I just haven’t found a great way to apply it to something small-scale.
But, having seen these cool DIY concrete bookends, I think I’ve found my project.
First, they’re bookends, and who doesn’t need more of those. Second, they use tiny found objects as reliefs or ornaments. The article’s author, Benita, opted for a serif-y, Roman B, but I’m thinking some tiny grocery-store Luchalibre figures might be awesome. And third, they use a totally manageable amount of concrete that can easily be mixed and used inside.
