The concrete trend has taken me by surprised. To be honest I hadn't heard a lot about it until recently and now that I pay attention to it I'm seeing a variety of concrete products in stores. Many of the candle holders, pen holders, and planters I've seen look really easy to recreate. Even more shocking to me was how inexpensive a big bag of concrete costs at the hardware store. With a bag of concrete and your favorite DecoArt paints you can easily create your own unique concrete projects for your home. Today I'm sharing a few of my favorite ideas found around the web. 

I never would've thought that you could make a concrete desk, but after finding this concrete desk via The Merry Thought I'm convinced I need one. I really like the sleek design and modern feel of the desk. This would also be a great work desk for kid's art projects.

If you want to incorporate your own DIY letters and ampersands into your home this concrete ampersand via Learning Creative Living is a great tutorial to follow. This is a nice way to add personalized letters on tabletops and bring the concrete trend into your home.

For weddings you can make these concrete numbers via Love and Lavender. What a great way to let people know their table number! This project can easily be customized with your party's theme colors and patio paint.

If you're not a fan of big concrete projects then these concrete magnets via At Home In Love is a great alternative. When I first saw this tutorial I couldn't help the excitement over making my own. With a variety of silicone molds on the market you can get really creative with the shapes.
