Pour concrete over bunched plastic bags and 2 other supplies and guests cannot believe what it becomes

Transform ordinary plastic grocery bags into stunning textured boulder garden seats with just two other simple supplies. This eco-friendly project repurposes everyday waste materials into functional outdoor decor. Perfect for enhancing your garden or patio, these DIY bolder seats surprise and delight guests with their unique texture and natural look.

These textured boulder garden seats are perfect for a rustic or bohemian garden setting. Pair them with natural wood elements, like a reclaimed wood table, to create a harmonious outdoor space. Incorporate greenery around the seats to enhance the natural boulder effect. Use them as focal points in a minimalist garden design, or scatter them for an organic feel in a more lush setting.

Plastic grocery bags (approximately 50-70 bags)

Lay the plastic drop cloth on a flat surface where you want to work. Ensure it is large enough to contain any mess during the process.

Crumple and bunch the plastic grocery bags together into a mound shape, forming the rough size and shape of the boulder seat you desire.

Mix the quick-setting concrete according to the package instructions, ensuring it reaches a thick, paste-like consistency.

Pour the mixed concrete over the bunched plastic bags, covering them completely and smoothing the surface with a trowel or gloved hands to create a textured appearance.

Allow the concrete to set and cure completely, following the instructions on the concrete mix packaging for curing time.

Once cured, carefully peel away the plastic drop cloth and move your new boulder seat to its desired location in your garden.

For a different look, experiment with adding color to the concrete mix using concrete dyes or pigments to match your garden's color scheme. You can also adjust the size and shape of the boulder seats by varying the amount of plastic bags used and the way they are bunched together. Consider creating a set of seats in varying heights and sizes to add visual interest and functionality to your garden seating area.
