How to Make a Rock Bowl Flame

By: Diy maven Oct 31, 2011

The flaming rock bowls pictured above are actually a product that Restoration Hardware used to sell. Although they're no longer available, knowing RH, I'm sure they weren't cheap. Enter b3hd, who got all fancy with the concrete and made a DIY version.  Supplies we'll need to make some for ourselves are readily available. Check it out....

  • Sakrete quickset concrete
  • some rock (from your yard, perhaps)
  • a plastic bowl
  • a large can of something (tomatoes, perhaps)
  • a chafing dish gel fuel pack (Sterno)
  • PAM cooking spray
  • newspaper
  • plastic tub for mixing up the Quickset
  • a stick to stir said Quickset

As for the tute, head on over to b3hd to read the whole process:

I can not get my bowls as smooth and beautiful. Concrete either to wet or dry with air pockets. I love these. I hope that I can get the consitency right soon. Any suggestions.

Your rock bowls are the perfect decoration for my garden. They are lovely. I can imagine how jealous the neighbours will be once I finished this project. You have to know that we are all obsessed about our gardens. Thank you for sharing!

Looks like the originals still are available for final sale of $40 a piece.

You can also use quickcrete. It comes in a premixed bucket.

@Renee--let's just say that was a practice run. ;)

I tried making this last night as written...epic failure! Not sure if I added too much water or not enough...also think the set time needs to be longer...I am going to try again tho until I get it right since I have a 50 lb. bag of the stuff! Lol

Wow, with the cost of fire tables being what they are, this is definitely the way to go! I'm pinning this to my Yarden board and plan to make some in the spring. Thank You!

These bowls are absolutely amazing - stylish and functional! For many of us, however, this DIY project may be a bit over our heads. Personally, I use a fire table. Fire tables are elegant and functional - keeping you very warm throghout the winter. Check out some of the fire tables at http://www.sunsetpatios.com to get some great ideas on affordable and stylish fire pits and fire tables.
