Now’s where the magic happens. Pour your concrete mixture into the cone mold. Don’t rush—it’s thicker than it looks. Once it’s filled, give the mold a gentle tap all around to release any air bubbles. This helps avoid those weird little holes in your finished tree. (Not that they’re bad; I actually like the texture they add.)
Quick Tip: If your mix ends up too watery, toss in a bit more cement. Too dry? Add water a tablespoon at a time. Concrete is forgiving—thank goodness!
