How to Make a Concrete Bowl
Have you ever wondered how to make a concrete a bowl? They are all over Pinterest in many shapes and sizes. Today I am following the instructions, from my friends new book, to make one for my own home!

Equipment
- 12" bowl
- 8" bowl
Ingredients
- Concrete powder
Instructions
- Grab two bowls, one 12″ and one 8″. Make sure to select bowls that you love the shape of. Sounds obvious, but I was at the store so laser focused on finding the right size bowls, that I was throwing any random bowl in the cart. Walking to the checkout, I looked at the outer bowl and realized it wasn’t the shape I wanted at all. Jamie suggests stainless bowls in her book tutorial, but the store in our town didn’t carry stainless. I imagine you could order them on Amazon, but I wanted to finish the project that day! We just used two plastic bowls.
- Grease the inside of the large bowl, and the outside of the small bowl, with vegetable oil.
- Mix concrete powder with water until it is the thickness of pancake batter. Fill the large bowl 3/4 of the way with concrete.
- Nestle the smaller bowl inside the larger bowl that is filled with the concrete.
- Add weights to the smaller bowl, until the rims of the two bowls match up. We just used rocks from our landscaping.
- Allow it to sit undisturbed for 24 hours.
- Carefully remove the molds.
