why didn't i think of this...i love concrete, i love working with silicone molds and i love unconventional advent wreaths.
...to make four numbers of concrete and to stick candles into them...no i did not think of this great advent wreath idea, but i am so grateful, that someone else did and shared it with everyone...thank you so much.
this someone else is called fee and you can have a look at her concrete advent wreath right here
i thought i should glam up the concrete numbers a little bit and added a little glitter...but to be honest, i do like the unfinished ones the same way.
if you are interested to see how to make a concrete numbered advent wreath, you are more than welcome to have a look at my pictured tutorial.
...thank you very much for your visit and best regards...silke
this is what you need

this is what you have to do

- prepare the concrete, following the instructions on the package
- pour the concrete mixture into the silicone molds
- let the concrete dry thoroughly
- place the mold upside down and carefully remove the concrete number
- let the numbers rest until completly dry
- they might need another hour or so
- get your drill ready
- drill a hole into the upper part of the number
- the hole should be big enough to hold the candle
- get your candle ready
- place the candle into the hole
- and the first one is done
- repeat with the other three concrete numbers and candles
- arrange the numbers to your liking
