Step 1
Drill a small hole in the lid so it will fit tightly around a ¼ inch piece of candle or glue stick.
Step 2
Insert the glue stick or wax candle stick into the hole in the lid of the bottle.
Tip: While both glue and wax candle sticks work, wax candles are easier to drill out than glue.
Step 3
In a small container, mix the concrete coloring pigment with water, and then add to the concrete, according to the instructions on the bag.
Tip: The more pigment you add, the more intense the color will be.
Step 4Â Â Â Â
Add a little more warm water than usual to the mix so it will pour easier into the bottle.
Step 5
Once poured into bottle, vibrate or tap out as many bubbles as possible. Then place glue/candle stick into bottle and screw cap back on. Wipe away excess concrete and let cure for at least 18 hours.
Step 6
Use hair dryer or heat gun to help make removing the plastic bottle easier. Use the heat to soften up, cut a little piece, and then pull it away.
Step 7
Drill out the center and candle/glue stick.
