Tabletop Fire Bowl DIY Ideas

As the weather gets warmer, acquiring an additional heat source is probably the last thing on your mind. That said, once the sun sets, and you find yourself with a hankering for s’mores, that additional heat, in the form of a DIY tabletop fire bowl, may not seem like such an outlandish idea. Any one of these four DIY ideas are perfect if you’re entertaining past sunset, or if you’re working with a small space, without the option for a full scale fire pit.  

 

Using: A Concrete Cast & Fire-safe Rocks 

If you’re up for making your own concrete cast, you may be up for this DIY. The obvious perk of making your own bowl is that you can truly customize its size, making this a strategic DIY for anyone working with a small outdoor space.
