Sincerily, I did not anticipate these to be so lovely. It’s certainly worth a try.
Choosing the right flower pot for your plants can be challenging. Similar to plants, flower pots should come in a range of sizes.
You do not, however, want to be required to go out and buy a new flower pot each time you buy new plants. Perhaps it’s time to make your own flower container if you’re looking for something more distinctive.
This project is perfect if you have a few random items lying around.
You must first gather a few egg trays. If you don’t have all five of the same size, just remove a few rows of trays to bring them all into line.
You should have about five of each size.
They ought to be plentiful enough to make a sizable flower pot. Set them up in a row with each other fairly close together. Construction will be simpler as a result.
Making cement is simpler than it appears.
You’ll need three parts sand and one part cement to make this mixture. Combine them in a bowl or pail for mixing.
When everything is combined, start slowly adding water to create a sticky substance.
The egg trays can then be filled with cement.
The egg trays should be covered with a thick layer of cement.
Make sure the cement is flawless and has a smooth surface by using a shovel to remove any imperfections.
You should have a nice, solid mold to make your flower pot after 24 hours when you can remove the cement from the egg tray.
Make the flower pot’s initial assembly.
Once the cement is no longer stuck to the egg trays, start laying the slabs.
Each cement slab should be placed on its side to create a hexagonal arrangement.
The outside should have a rough design of the egg tray.
Finally, use more cement to affix and secure these slabs.
Lacking a bottom makes a flowerpot incomplete.
To prevent dirt from spilling out and causing a mess in your home, you need to do something.
These guys show how to finish the pot by first filling it with sand and leaving just a sliver at the top. In this location, you will add additional wet cement.
To allow water from your plants to drain, make a tiny hole in the center of the soggy bottom.
Add some plastic bottle feet while the cement is still wet. They will stay put by simply pressing them into the cement.
After the cement has dried completely, turn it over.
The dirt can simply pour out, and nothing will fall apart.
Now that you’ve easily constructed a cool and distinctive flower pot using supplies from around the house.
Remember to include your plants and soil. Any type of foliage can be grown in this homemade flower pot.
