DIY Concrete Garden Globes
We all love those garden ornaments, but they can be pretty expensive anywhere you look. Here at TGG we decided to make our own DIY concrete garden globes, and it turned out to be a fun and pretty rewarding project that cost less than $15 for three balls. We also tried out a couple different recipes, including a hypertufa mixture… For our final globes, we used recipe 2, a good compromise between a little organic without being too rustic. Get all the details on our blog and see our step by step tutorial and 4 different recipes that you can try.
Old glass lamp globes found at our local thrift store. These were our molds. They work great!
Supplies needed.
