To make the bases I use an empty pretzel container from Costco.

More duck tape and pool noodle to make the shape.

Papermache the exterior and fill the container about 3/4 full of quickcrete cement.
Put a piece of drain pipe so that it sticks out about three inches out of the top. (this is not shown in the photo)

Here is the finished base with the pipe sticking out.

I used a rock finish spray paint and 99 cent craft paint to color the rock bases.
