DIY Tabletop Fire Bowl for Roasting Marshmallows

I love my deck and the outdoor space is ready for the spring and summer!

I thought it was the cutest thing but I knew then and there that it was something I could make at home in no time!

The s'mores roaster from Target was this one and was about $40.

My daughter brought it right home and tried it out with the kids.

I, on the other hand, went home and grabbed a cement planter and a bucket of pea gravel. 


The dollar store and Target both had bags of gravel this week too.

I placed a coffee filter into the bottom of the cement planter to cover the hole.

I filled the cement planter almost to the top with the pea gravel.

I placed a can of Sterno S'mores in the center of the planter and added more pea gravel around it.


You can also use the Sternos that are specially made for s'mores roasters you buy at the store.

And that is all it took!

The fire bowl looks beautiful and is great for roasting marshmallows.

The Sterno S'mores last about 2 hours and can easily be pulled out of the gravel and replaced.

The small fire bowl looks so pretty on the table with the solar lights I made recently.

Replace the top of the Sterno S'mores and the fire is smothered until you want to light it again!

Even if you don't eat marshmallows, you'll love the beautiful glow of the fire bowl at night. 


And those great expandable skewers were at Dollar Spot at Target this week! These are also great and very inexpensive.
