This effect has been manufactured almost exclusively with disposable products. With Pour Concrete and small decorations, these are fun to recycle!
Save old perfume bottles, small bottles of food or medicine jars, which can be used nicely for pouring with concrete.
For the base forms for the concrete you can also use plastic containers of food, bottles or other packaging material. You can also make a mold from a cardboard box and cover it with plastic cling film or wide wrapping tape.

How to do:
Fill the bottles that you are going to use with water, otherwise they will float when you pour the concrete around them.

Put them in the shape that should be concrete.

Determine the approximate amount of concrete you will need to fill the mold around the bottles.

Mix the powder with water, the quantities are clearly stated on the packaging.

Carefully pour the liquid concrete into the mold and let it dry.

It concerns fast-drying concrete, but still let it harden for a long enough time for a long lasting beautiful result.

If you opt for tough, you can leave it that way. If you want a little more romance, a lace, button or charm is a nice embellishment.
With a few small flowers from the garden you quickly create a nice atmosphere.

Lots of fun!
