DIYnight! Sara Bendrick shares her fun concrete cubes recipe. Tune in.

Join us for #DIYnight with DIY Network’s expert landscaper Sara Bendrick and make fun concrete cubes for Easter, and everyday.

The best part of #DIYnight is making projects with friends.

I asked Sara Bendrick to share a fun springtime project with us. She has a fun and easy way to make mini concrete cubes art that is perfect for the garden, tablescapes, wall art, and more. And it’s a perfect project to share with your DIY kids.

Join Sara Bendrick and me on Wednesday, March 2nd at 7pmET for a fun 30 minutes of #DIYnight with MyFixitUpLife.

What you’ll need:

• quick setting cement or concrete without large aggregate.
• water
• ice cube molds

How-To:

1. Pour water in a mixing container and add concrete pigment if you desire to the water mix and then add your concrete mix.
2. Mix till you get a stew consistency.
3. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes to slake (this allows a chemical reaction that strengthens the mix).
4. Remix and use a spoon or a trowel & distribute into the molds.
5. Make sure to agitate the molds a little bit to get the concrete to settle down and all the grooves. I did this by lightly tapping the molds in using a spoon on the top.
6. Depending on how liquidy or how thick your mix is, that will affect the drying time… As well as the weather.
7. After the concrete is hard and you can pop them out of the molds.

I’m going to use these to create Easter table decor but the options are endless.

Come make fun concrete cubes with Sara Bendrick and me Wednesday, March 2nd at 7pmET!
