Why Cement Crafts Are So Beginner-Friendly

Cement is one of the most forgiving materials to work with. Whether you’re just looking for a relaxing hobby or dreaming of building your own home décor business, this craft is as simple as it sounds.

When I first started, I had no prior experience—just a genuine desire to explore a new hobby that would let me create freely and express my creativity through my hands.Once I started creating cement décor, I realized how versatile, affordable, and fun it was. And before long, I scaled my business just by introducing unique handmade pieces like plant pots, trays, and incense holders.

Cement gave me something I didn’t have before:👉 Creative freedom.I could design any size, shape, or color I wanted — and customers loved the uniqueness.

Why Plant Pots Are the Perfect Starting Point

Plant pots are one of the easiest and most rewarding projects for beginners because:

• You only need a single mold (and you can reuse it endlessly)

• They’re functional décor that people actually use and love

• You can easily experiment with colors, finishes, and sizes

• They make beautiful gifts or sellable products

From smooth neutrals to marbled patterns or terrazzo finishes, no two pots ever look the same. Each one has its own handmade character — and that’s what makes them special.

How to Get Started

To make a cement plant pot, all you need to do is:1️⃣ Mix your cement and water until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency.2️⃣ Pour it into your silicone mold and gently tap out any bubbles.3️⃣ Let it cure, then remove it from the mold and admire your creation!

It’s that simple. But like any craft, there are tricks that make it easier — and small mistakes that can make a big difference in the final result.
