Easy to make concrete bowls and planters...

Step 10: More on the bowling ball bowl from step 5...and a link to a great Instructable!

Several of you expressed interest in the bowling ball bowl. Say that three times fast!

In a nutshell, you simply choose a bowl that is larger in circumference than your bowling ball.
Fill the bowl half to three quarters full of concrete, submerge the ball in and give it a squish.
Allow it to dry.

Remove the ball, remove the bowl and there you have it. :-)

Great 'ible... I'm totally gonna use this idea, particularly with the bowling ball to realise a dream of mine of constructing a flowform water feature.

Maybe fitting pipes into the holes in the ball to create lip where water can run out.

Thanks for posting, keep up the great inventive fresh ideas!!

Daniel,

Thank you so much, I love your peppy spirit!

I'll definitely check out the site you mentioned. Without even looking,
I have an idea just based on your comment about flowform.

This site is so much fun, and you 'meet' such neat people with
great ideas.

Thanks, Daniel!
