Tutorial ~ How To Make a Hollow Concrete Sphere

By rcn48

Concrete statuary in some of the gardens I've visited has always captivated me. Unfortunately most statuary I've priced is quite expensive and with my tight budget the chances were slim that any of these creations would ever find themselves in my gardens. However, several years ago I was intrigued when I stumbled upon instructions for making "hollow concrete spheres". I was pleased to learn the cost of materials is fairly inexpensive and last year successfully completed my first sphere. I'd like to show you how easy it is and hopefully inspire you to create your own hollow concrete sphere!

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I'm going to try something in a couple of months, not sure if it'll be spherical or not, but I'm going to use your basic instructions...I'll post a photo of the finished piece!
Cheers I tip my hat to you.
