DIY Faux Concrete Jewelry Cones

DIY Faux Concrete Jewelry Cones

My obsession with clay apparently knows no bounds because I’m back with yet another new use for the stuff. Enter: my DIY Faux Concrete Jewelry Cones. This project was honestly born out of my mild hatred for concrete—I can’t stand all the mixing, molding, and drying that’s involved. So, instead, I broke out my supply of air dry clay (leftover from this project) to make the modern jewelry cones I had pictured in my mind.

Hop over to Hunker for the full tutorial, which also includes a printable template to make that telltale cone shape. I hadn’t intended to include the template, just free-forming the cones on my own. But that first cone was tough to make, guys. Free-forming a symmetrical shape is pretty much impossible, so I jumped on Photoshop and created a quick template that I was able to print, cut out, and press over the flattened clay to then slice out. The template easily takes this project from a 1-hour-long ordeal to maybe 30 minutes.

See the process here and let me know in the comments which material you’d rather use for this project: air dry clay or real-deal concrete.

Who’s ready for another fabulous summer weekend?! I know I am, especially since my sister will be in town to celebrate her birthday. I’m planning to spend a very large portion of the next handful of days sipping wine, eating cheese and crackers, and catching up with the birthday girl.

Speaking of, I’ve decided to take a couple of days away from the office to enjoy quality time with her and the rest of our family, so the blog will be a bit quiet come Monday and Tuesday (no newsletter next week either). Don’t worry, though. I’ll be back to regular posting on Wednesday and have a bunch of fun things to share later in the week, including a new video. In the meantime, I hope these links below help inspire you while I’m away.

1. Need some new ideas for on-the-go summer snacking or lunching? We’re still enjoying these bento-inspired meals, so feel free to give them a shot as you hop from one activity to the next this season.

2. I had to throw away my beloved (read: completely worn-out) pair of black flats this week…These might be the perfect replacement.

3. This is my new favorite app for shopping secondhand finds. Make sure to check out the shipping tab for options near and far!

4. Speaking of apps, here’s a roundup of five good ones that will help improve your daily routine.

5. Thank you guys so much for all the helpful migraine prevention and treatment tips! Comment below if you have another idea because I could still use all the help I can get.

6. I’ve got a couple of flower arranging stories lined up for later this month, but, in the meantime, this article all about how to grow your own vegetable garden on a balcony caught my eye.

7. I can’t believe this fringed woven rug is available at Target, of all places!
