What is a Garden Sphere?

Blickkugeln or Blickkugeln have been used to decorate gardens for centuries. These iridescent glass orbs, usually on a base or wrought iron base, were originally thought to ward off evil and bring good luck. Today, they are just ornaments peeking out from plants and reflecting gardens. Place the gazing ball in a low-traffic area to avoid breakage. 

Glass balls should be stored indoors during the winter to prevent captive witches from cracking and escaping. Unlike hanging friendly balls or ring witch balls, glass balls come in a variety of forms, some have stems that can be safely placed on racks, while others are more uniform in shape and can be placed on the grass.

How to make a concrete Garden Sphere? 

So folks, before getting in the process of making a garden sphere, you’ll need the following items for making it:

Mold for a glass sphere (An affordable and easy-to-find example is a globe light fixture or a Christmas ornament), A small size Bucket, Newspaper, Spray for cooking, a big bucket, Cup made of plastic, Gloves made of rubber, Cement mix in a five-pound bag, Water, Mix stick, Paper bag, Glasses for safety, Thor, and a gentle cloth. 

Procedure: 

Step 1: Make a newspaper liner for the little bucket.
