Looks great! I havent tried out concrete yet, but I have made some stuff with gypsum. It is really easy – and I believe, not as messy as concrete. Perhaps not as sturdy and durable, but ok for some products, like this tealight candle holders I made, if you want to check them out: http://www.neovias.blogspot.fi/2012/07/diy-tealight-candle-holders.html
You're going to NM too???? You're killin' me here… kiss the wild horses for me please!
love so much your idea I will try to do one!
it`s easy to take the plastic bowl off when the concrete is dry?
Such an awesome idea, thanks for sharing with us.
Wow thats such a great idea! It would look lovely on a patio 🙂
LOVE the concrete bowl! One important thing to remember about working with cement is that after you have poured it into your mold, tap the edges around the mold with something like a hammer handle or something like it for about 5 minutes. What that does is help burp the bubbles out of your cement and it makes for a smoother finished product. Also, always make sure you wear gloves and glasses too as cement is harmful to your skin. Check out the items that I have made with cement too on my blog at http://www.nikitaland.wordpress.com (IE: cement candle holders from Nyquil bottles, or a candle holder from a perfume box, and cement candle holder from a latex glove!) Be creative, the possibilities are endless!
Wow! I would've never thought to try this! This is really cool. Props to you!
I'm doing this tomorrow!

hi, I want to do this but I wanted to know – does it need to be *canola* oil specifically?

That's not the difference between cement and concrete. That's like saying the difference between flour and bread is that flour is dry and bread is flour that has been mixed with water. You're correct that cement is the powdery substance, usually Portland Cement is used and it's the hardening agent in concrete. Concrete is a mixture of gravel, sand, cement, and other compounds depending on the intended purpose of the concrete. If you nix the gravel, then you have mortar. Other combinations have other specific names.
You can also use concrete stain to get a unique old look to it. Red,orange and brown are awesome when you spray them on.
Hi, you explained the topic very well. for more details something like visit tealight holders wholesale get more informations.
thought this would be an interesting project but the pics are not helpful to me because it looks as though you have just covered an existing plastic bowl with concrete. wish you would have shown how you did the BOWL mold and how you removed the plastic bowl…. have a hard time believing this one..
I'm confused about why you put concrete inside the inner bowl. Did you make a second container? If it is just for weight, wouldn't rocks or bricks or something equally heavy do the trick without wasting all that wonderful cement? What does the outside look like? Does it mimic the bowl? I have got to try this, but I think I will use 2 bowls of different sizes. I know canola oil works, but just fyi, so does safflower oil, wd40, and Pam. I love the thickness of the bowl itself, it will look really nice on my deck filled with succulents.
