3. Place a small amount of the mixture into the medium bowl, then place the small bowl inside the medium bowl allowing an even gap between the bowls. Pour river sand into the small bowl to keep it in place, and fill between the bowls with the concrete mixture. Remove excess mixture from the bowl with a sponge. Allow to dry for 2 days, before unveiling.
