making your own
concrete cast, you

own bowl is that you
can truly customize
its size, making this

anyone working with
a small outdoor space.

USING: A GLASS BOX
For something a little more artisan-looking, this glass box DIY is
simple and inexpensive to make, in addition to looking chic and
store-bought. Create the pit using a metal planter and cheap
glass frames.- Instructions available at www.theartofdoingstuff.

USING: A GALVANIZED METAL BOWL
If you're not up for making your own bowl, this slightly simpler DIY, using a
ready-made galvanized bowl, calls for the DIY-er to prime and coat the bowl,
fill it with recycled tempered glass chips, and insert a can of alcohol-free gel
fuel. In only a few steps, you can enjoy a personal fire pit that will burn for
hours. - Instructions available at www.allcreated.com
USING: A POT &
PEBBLES
The challenge for
this DIY idea lies in
the pot selection.
Fireproof options
include a ceramic
or terracotta plant
pot, which can be
obtained from
the gardening
department of
your local hardware
store. - Instructions
