And I can't believe it worked! Honestly, I couldn't be happier with the end result! It may have taken six months to get here but it's been so worth it. I still wanted to use the pigments, so I decided to use them to colour the joint compound. I decided to cut them to size and cover them in multipurpose joint compound instead. I pivoted and tried using plaster of paris instead, but it's a very difficult material to work with and I didn't want that for you. Then I remembered I had picked up two PVC pipes from the tip shop for $5 a piece months ago. But it just felt too complicated as I would have needed to buy a concrete mixer and lot of other materials, something I didn't want you to have to do. My original idea was to make coloured concrete chubby legs using oxide pigments. The thing is, it was important to me to keep this upcycle as simple as possible for you to try.
PLASTER OF PARIS VS JOINT COMPOUND FULL
Since then, this has been an upcycling adventure full of ups and downs involving concrete, plaster of paris, PVC pipes, joint compound, pigments and sealer to get this upcycle just right. Technically I started this upcycle six months ago. I found a gorgeous coffee table at my local tip shop and fell in love with the chocolate glass top, which I was able to buy on it's own for $10.
