Have you wondered how to make concrete crafts that are actually easy? This cement craft tutorial will show you how to make simple faux concrete eggs with paint!
How To Make Faux Concrete Eggs
Cement crafts have never been easier to make! Instead of going through the hassle of working with messy concrete, you can add a faux concrete finish to any surface with an easy-to-use product. I also used this same product to make this Easy Faux Concrete DIY School Supplies Organizer.
Today, I am using this product to make some faux concrete eggs for spring, but you can actually do the same process to any surface in your home or any craft.
Although the process is different than what we used to make these Easy Painted Easter Eggs, it's nearly as easy to do!

Supplies Needed To Make Faux Concrete Eggs
- Wood Eggs (I used two sizes)
- Faux Concrete Paint Finish
- Sponge Pouncer Brush
Step 1: Paint Eggs With Light Concrete Color
Start with the lighter bottle and apply the material to your eggs with a pouncer brush. Do one side first, allow it to dry, and then do the second side.
NOTE: This material is very thick, but that's what delivers that great texture.
Step 2: Apply Light & Dark Concrete Paint To Eggs
Once both sides are dry, you are ready to give your eggs that gorgeous cement finish.
Grab both the light and the dark bottles and go over your surface with the light one more time. However, this time, while the product is still wet, use the sponge pouncer brush to add in some of the dark.
In the image below, the small egg at the top has been completed, while the others have not. What a difference!
Step 3: Keep Applying Dark Concrete Paint To Eggs
You can add as much or as little of the dark as you like. The dark really makes your project look like concrete.
Again, complete one side, allow it to dry, and then do the other side.
Step 4: Allow Faux Concrete Eggs To Dry
Allow your cement crafts to dry completely before displaying them around your home.
These faux concrete paint eggs are perfect for your farmhouse spring decor.
Just look at them! They look just like concrete, and we just made them in only a few minutes.

You can buy wooden eggs online or at your local craft store!
Are There Other Faux Concrete Paint Options For Crafts?
Yes, there are other products that can create a faux concrete look and texture for crafts. If you want to skip the sponge pouncer brush, try using spray paint. Both Krylon and Rust-Oleum have options that get great reviews.
I haven't tried them yet, but if they're anywhere near as good as other products from those brands, they are definitely worth consideration.
