I have been wanting to make bird bath mold for years. It's such a beautiful and unique item that I can't help but create it myself. After some research, I decided to give it a try. Materials: - Baseboard or concrete - Sandpaper - Sanding bits - Paint - Molding press - Your choice of color and design Instructions: 1. Cut the baseboard or concrete into small slabs. This will be used as the platform on which the bird bath mold will stand. 2. Using sandpaper, gently sand the baseboard or concrete until it is smooth and free from any roughness. 3. Using sanding bits, start to sand away any imperfections in the surface of the concrete. Use a light touch, working your way up towards the center of the mold. 4. Apply paint to the surface of the baseboard or concrete, making sure to cover all the areas that need it. You may want to use several coats depending on how much paint you are using. 5. Once you have applied enough paint, set aside a few minutes to dry before moving on to the next step. 6. Using your mixing tool, mix a mixture of sandpaper paper and paint until you achieve a smooth texture. Be careful not to overmix the mixture, as this can result in a mold that looks rough and uneven. 7. Use the mold press to apply the mixed mixture onto the baseboard or concrete. Make sure to press down firmly to ensure that the surface of the baseboard or concrete is fully covered by the mold. 8. Wait for the mold to dry completely. Depending on how long it takes, this may take anywhere from a few hours to several days. 9. Once the mold has dried completely, you can take it out of the mold press and carefully remove it from the baseboard or concrete. If necessary, make sure to handle it gently to avoid damaging it. 10. Allow the bird bath mold to cure for a few more days before removing it from the frame. You may want to leave it in place for a week or so to allow it to cure fully before turning it off.
