If you’re anything like me and love experimenting with concrete, you’re going to love this project! This time, I ditched traditional molds and tried something unexpected—a chip bag, the same one that once held my questionable midnight snack choices. Weird? Maybe. But trust me, it totally works! The result is a rugged, stylish vase with a unique texture, perfect for succulents, dried flowers, or fresh blooms. And the best part? You can customize it with pigments, gold leaf, or leave it raw for that cool industrial look. Who knew that my love for snacks and DIY could finally come together so perfectly?
Key Takeaways
Chip bags make surprisingly great concrete molds – flexible, sturdy, and give a cool organic texture.
A plastic bottle creates the perfect vase opening – just make sure it’s much narrower than the bag.
Tying a string around the middle adds a sculpted, rustic touch.
Customize it with pigment or gold leaf – or keep it raw for an industrial vibe.
Let the concrete cure fully before decorating – patience = no cracks!

String or rope
