Purchase a Styrofoam head mold. Cut a piece out of the top to put plant inside and cover with concrete. Mold is just over $3 on Amazon.

Hypertufu may give you the look you want, along with a Styrofoam head.

  Thanks so much for the link to the Sakrete video which was exactly what I was searching for. I will first construct a female bust planter of antiquity, probably Athena, to compliment a purchased head of David concrete planter, costing about $80. Hopefully many more of these planters will grace my garden in Florida!
