Materials:
- large balloon
- plaster
- pencil
- modeling clay
- vegetable oil
- brush
- concrete
- filler
- sandpaper
- concrete paint
Directions:
Step 1
Pour some water into the balloon, then inflate it up to your desired size. Tie the opening to secure. Next, place it on a stand, then mix plaster. Once done, cover half of the inflated balloon with the plaster and let it dry. Once dry, turn it upside down, then deflate the balloon, and remove it. Now, draw artificial cracks to the bottom of the half-sphere, then put some modeling clay on the drawn part. Brush the inside of the entire half sphere with vegetable oil, except the clay part. Then, add the concrete and allow it to dry for two weeks.
Step 2
Once two weeks are up, go ahead and remove the plaster and the modeling clay. Fill the holes and cracks in the concrete with filler, then allow it to dry and sand until smooth. Clean it afterwards, then paint the with concrete paint. Allow the paint to dry. Once dried, place the garden sphere in your garden, add some soil, then plant your desired plant.
