Explanation Writing: Cementing Mug Art

Explanation Writing: Cementing Mug Art

A Cementing Mug Art is a kind of art that could be hung on a wall or given to someone as a gift. It takes sometime to finish but it's all worth it at the end.

Firstly, a long piece of wood is cut into 4 20cm pieces of wood and nail them into a square shape. The frame is to prevent the cement from leaking out and to make it stay in shape.

Then, use tape to tape the frame onto a piece of cardboard which is big enough to fit in a desk. For addition tape on a hook on first so it can hang on your wall or on a door. Make sure you check that the tape is secure and it stuck on well.

After that, grab some newspaper and place it in the desk. Then grab the frame and go outside to start the fun part. Now it's time to make the cement. To make the cement get 3 cups of cement and every now and then add water and mix. Mix until the consistently is like mud. Pour the mixture into the frame and let it dry.

When the cement is dry break off the cardboard and take off the frame as well. Use one of the pieces of wood to smooth down the sides and the edges. For addition paint the cement any colour. But if you like it with no paint, don’t paint it. To make it a little prettier add a flower or some plants into the cup. Now it's done.

In conclusion I think the cement mug art is really pretty and the cool thing is that it was really easy to make.
