Easy Concrete Candle Holder
I was messing around and decided to give the whole concrete bowl thing a try. I had a big candle, you know the ones that come encompassed in glass. And, well, I figured why not make a concrete bowl for holding the candle? I've mostly seen concrete bowls being used for plants, one time a fire pit, so why not use it to hold a candle? It would look great on the patio table on a breeze-free night!
With that being said, I grabbed a bag of quick setting concrete mix, a couple bowls and got down to business.
I mixed the concrete, poured it into one bowl, used my orbital sander to give it a good virbate -- you know to get the air bubbles out...
A quick coat of paint, a stencil, and voila! A concrete bowl, perfect for holding a candle - easy peasy!
This is a great, simple project. After trying it out, I've come up with a whole bunch more uses for concrete bowls - and concrete forming! You can easily get creative with concrete bowl making. The designs, shapes and uses are endless!

I have no idea why, but I've really gotten into cement!!! I'm making these cement outdoor candle sticks for the children and votive candle holders for the adult grand kid! Hope you enjoy mine as much as injured seeing yours.
