DIY Concrete Rocks with Eyes
@merm-ish gave me the idea to post these DIY Stone Eyes - so thank you merm-ish.
These are hilariously awful
I want to make eyes now though…
Again, this DIY is not nearly as complicated as it looks. Buy a $1 bag of flat backed clear glass vase filler stones at The Dollar Store, paint, concrete, and zippers. Then place the your DIY Stone Eyes next to your DIY Concrete Smiling Stones.

DIY Smiling Concrete Stones
Invest in a $6 Denture Shape silicone ice mold and use it over and over again to make a small army of Smiling Concrete Stones to scatter around your garden, balcony, etc...
This DIY is not nearly as complicated as it looks. You make the teeth the concrete teeth and paint them with acrylic paint and use some gloss medium to make the gums look extra shiny and wet. Add the zipper, and pile on the concrete to make the stone. Of course there is more to it, but the tutorial is really detailed and you cant screw it up, and if you do? Your smiling stones will look even creepier.
Here are some of the steps:

DIY Herb Graveyard
Make this in 10 steps if... you have a laser cutter. Like we all do. Seriously, these can be made out of other materials and processes. From the maker:
There are many different approaches you could take to making the gravestones in this project: modeling clay, building up layers of card or art foam, wood carving, actual stonemasonry, laser etching, 3D printing... The list goes on.
You can use PenfoldPlant’s templates to help. He also lists the programs he used and online resources to print the Herb Gravestones.
