- 1). Mix a dry solution containing equal ratios of concrete and peat moss in a bucket, or combine equal parts cement, sand, vermiculite and peat moss. Cement differs from concrete in that concrete already has aggregate such as sand mixed into it.
- 2). Add water to the dry mix and stir with a trowel until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- 3). Pack the mixture into a mold for a statue, or hand-sculpt the statue as if you were working with modeling clay.
- 4). Mist the statue with water and cover with builder’s plastic. Allow the statue to cure and harden for at least 48 hours.
- 5). Place your statue in your garden.
