Supplies:

Paint brush
cooking oil
2 containers to use as molds (can be anything you want)
concrete mix (can be purchased at any home store)

Directions:

Mix concrete together as directed.

Next use a paintbrush to thoroughly coat the outside of the smaller mold with cooking oil.

Fill the larger mold with concrete to about 1 inch from the top. Shake to eliminate air bubbles; level the surface.

Push the smaller mold into the center of the concrete, leaving an adequate thickness for the bottom.

Place a weight in the smaller mold and let the concrete set for 24 to 48 hours.

Gently remove the molds. Smooth rough and sharp edges with a stone or file.
