A super easy way to make some cute concrete pumpkins. No molds required! These take around 20 minutes to make for a 6" pumpkin (drying time not included) If you plan on making big pumpkins and are worried they might be too heavy I also show you how to turn regular concrete into hyperfyfa (meaning: lightweight concrete)

To begin you'll need to mix your concrete in a bucket. You can do this by hand or use a drill bit with a mixing tip.
Here's what the concrete mixture should look like.
Following that tie some tights at the bottom and cut them off at about 12" in length.
Next stuff your tights with concrete and tie off sections to create the pumpkin shape. You cane use string or rubber bands to do this.
Let your pumpkins set overnight and remove the tights and rubber bands.
Next use some hot glue to attach a piece of rope for the stem and thin it out with some scissors to create a tapered look.
For the last step apply some glue and sprinkle the pumpkin with very fine moss to give it a natural look and that's it.
Here's how they look in the garden.
