To make this DIY concrete floating shelf, I started by carving a mold from foam. I covered the foam mold / form with epoxy resin, and then sprayed glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) to get a smooth surface. I then hand-packed the concrete back coat to ⅝” so that this shelf would be lightweight and could be hung with a hidden french cleat, since having no visible hardware is necessary.
