Place duct tape on the base of the mould
Step 3
Place the pieces for the sides in a row and cover with duct tape.
Step 4
Secure the sides to the base with duct tape.
Step 5
Wear latex gloves and mix equal parts of cement and sand in a bucket. Add water in small increments and mix well until the cement has the consistency of dough.
Step 6
Press the cement mixture into the mould and remove bubbles by tapping the sides and gently banging the mould on your work surface.

Leave to dry for at least 48 hours. Cut away the cardboard to release the hardened cement shape from the mould.
