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 use the same process on any surface in your home or for any craft.

Although the process is different from what we used to make these Easy Painted Easter Eggs, it's nearly as easy!

Supplies Needed To Make Faux Concrete Eggs

Step 1: Paint Eggs With Light Concrete Color

Start with the lighter colored bottle and apply the material to your eggs with a pouncer brush. Do one side first, let it dry, 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 darker color.

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 darker color 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.

Where Can You Buy Wooden Eggs?

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 a texturizing spray paint instead. 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.

Do I Need To Apply A Thick Coating Of The First Material To Get The Right Texture?

No, you don't need to paint this product on in a thick layer to achieve that thick concrete texture. The cement craft paint material includes both the texture and the cement color. This product is an all-in-one for achieving a realistic faux concrete look.

Can I Use A Regular Paint Brush Instead Of A Sponge Pouncer Brush?

No, to get the best result for this project, you will want to use a sponge pouncer brush.
