Let’s break down the process into simple steps so you can create this elegant swan table right at home!
Supplies
- Cardboard – For the tabletop and swan-shaped base.
- Styrofoam sheet - 2 inches sheet of 4 x 2 feet
- Acrylic or spray paint – White for the swan and gold/black for accents.
- Concrete mix
- Sandpaper – For smoothing edges.
- Sealant or clear coat – To protect the surface.
Drawing the Swan Shape on Cardboard




Begin by sketching the swan’s shape on a sturdy piece of cardboard. Ensure the dimensions match the desired table support structure. Cut out the shape carefully to use it as a template.
Cutting the Shape on Styrofoam Sheet









- Draw the outline of two symmetric swans facing each other over a styrofoam sheet with elegant curves for the neck, wings, and body.
Place the cardboard template on a styrofoam sheet and trace the outline. Use a sharp cutter or hot wire foam cutter to precisely cut the swan shape from the styrofoam.
Filling the Swan Cutouts With Concrete Mix








- Prepare a cement mix with the right consistency. Coat the inner surface of the styrofoam mold with a release agent, then pour the concrete mix into the cutout mold. Allow it to set and cure properly.
Preparing the Table's Upper & Lower Concrete Bases












- Create two circular or rectangular molds for the tabletop and base. Pour the concrete mix into these molds, ensuring they have a smooth finish. Reinforce them with wire mesh for durability.
Fixing the Swans on the Lower Base








- Four beautifully sculpted cement swans are placed facing each other.
- Their curved necks form a heart shape, adding elegance to the design.
- The swans are temporarily placed on bricks to ensure proper alignment.
- The swans will be securely attached to the circular base created earlier.
- Once positioned correctly, they will be fixed firmly using cement or an adhesive mixture.
Attaching the Tabletop







- A round cement tabletop is carefully aligned above the swan structure.
- The tabletop is lightweight yet sturdy enough to balance securely.
- The tabletop rests on the curved necks of the swans, which act as a natural support.
- It is adjusted to ensure even weight distribution and stability.
Colour It Up








- The entire table is painted pure white, creating a smooth and elegant base.
- This enhances the swan’s graceful appearance and gives a polished finish.
- The edges of the feathers are highlighted with gold paint, adding a luxurious touch.
- The neck and details are carefully outlined to maintain the swan’s delicate features.
