A super easy way to make some cute concrete pumpkins. No molds required! These take around 20 minutes to make for a 6" pumpkin (drying time not included) If you plan on making big pumpkins and are worried they might be too heavy I also show you how to turn regular concrete into hyperfyfa (meaning: lightweight concrete)
