You Will Need (4 things)

  • Cooking Spray
  • Stirrer / Something for stirring
  • Bucket
  • Concrete

Steps (7 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather some round glass vases on the cheap from your local thrift store... these were $1- 50¢. Spray the insides with nonstick cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Mix the concrete according to instructions. I typically add water until the concrete is similar to pudding or creamy peanut butter.

  3. 3

    Pour into your glass orbs and let sit/ dry for at least 24 hours!

  4. 4

    Place your orbs into a paper bag and gently (but firmly) tap the glass until it breaks away from the cured concrte

  5. 5

    These make a lovely and simple garden detail.

  6. 6

    If you have two simple containers you can easily place the smaller on in the middle of the large one and pour concrete around to make a custom planter

  7. 7

    I LOVE how these look in your garden. Oh... ps... you could stain/ dye your concrete if you wanted something more colorful.
