DIY Concrete Countertops

Beautiful countertops are a centerpiece of a kitchen, but they’re also expensive—unless you make them yourself. Watch this video to see how you can make your own finished concrete countertops. Gather together the tools you’ll need before you start, such as a circular saw to cut the melamine for the concrete mold. Other rental tools you’ll need include a palm sander.

The DIY expert featured here gives a step-by-step demonstration of building the melamine form, mixing the concrete, and spreading the concrete into the form with some rebar for added strength. After it dries completely, all you’ll need to do is sand it thoroughly and apply six coats of concrete sealer.
