Don’t be a follower when it comes to DIY fire pit projects – be a leader! Create your own artistic stone fire pit with a little imagination and labor. Everybody does the same round cobblestone fire pit design, but you can be different. Dare to stand out from the crowd! We’ve given you some creative ideas below to get you started and get you inspired. You can shape your own concrete stones using a template, you can use flagstones or even use alternative stock stones from your local home improvement store. You can also come up with your own pit layout. If you’ve got boulders around your property, they’d make a great pit and that would be easy on the budget. The trick is to make it yours. It’s the personal, unique touches that will elevate your fire pit to designer status. Let’s get started!
