DIY Tabletop Fire Bowl
If you're looking to add a little flare to your outdoor space, this DIY concrete fire bowl will do the trick!
Begin with a bag of quick setting concrete, water, two bowls - one bowl smaller than the other, non stick kitchen spray, mesh wire, chafing fuel and fire safe rocks.
Spray the inside of the large bowl and outside of the small bowl. Mix the concrete until it is the consistency of peanut butter. Fill the large bowl 3/4 of the way full.
Press the smaller bowl into the concrete, squeezing the concrete up to the rim of the larger bowl. Make sure the smaller bowl is centered. Add rocks to weigh down the small bowl or it may float out of the concrete.
When the concrete is nearly dry, remove the bowls. Smooth out the concrete with a wet sponge.
Add a chafing fuel can and wire mesh to the bowl. (You'll need to prepare by opening your chafing fuel can if you're ready to light your fire)

Have a look at this gorgeous fire bowl project for another great idea on keeping your outdoor space warm this winter!
Surround the can with fire-safe rocks (check with your Home Depot associate to see what they have available.) Don't place the rocks directly over the fuel can. Light and enjoy!

I think this is a great ideal and I definitely plan to make a fire bowl, as well as an assortment of planters. This post has given me so many neat ideas. Thanks!
