DIY Concrete Garden Bench for Less Than $30

You can build this concrete garden bench for less than takeout! Plus the more you build, the cheaper it gets!
$6 for the bag of concrete. Of course you need 2 but once you have the frame/molds you never have to buy them again. You can set up shop and create gifts for Christmas now. What gardener would not want a custom bench?
These benches are sturdy and I have sat on them and I am no lightweight. They can be personalized and customized in so many ways- With tiles for a mosaic, marbles for some bling, and even concrete stain to change the color. My cats seem to think I created the benches seem for their nap time than a decoration in the garden.
There are more directions on my blog but here are some pics to get you motivated.
Creating. Inspiring. Gardening without the rules!

    Thank you for this! I just need one for a bald spot in my yard. Would be ridiculous to spend the going rate and just accepting what's available instead of just making it the right design. Thank you for the inspiration, information and pictures!
