Material list

Concrete is an incredibly versatile material that can do far more than just fulfil the basics of construction. With a little creativity and craftsmanship, you can create decorative containers for your green plants in no time at all. These homemade concrete planters not only give your home a modern, industrial look, but also offer a durable and unique way to express your love of plants.

Here's how it's done

 

Mix the concrete mass with water according to the instructions on the product packaging. Fill the casting mould with the mixed concrete mass and place another casting mould in this mass. In this way you will later obtain the recess for the plant pot. Allow the creative concrete to harden for about 24 - 30 hours

Extra tip: You can use any casting mould to cast the creative concrete. However, not every mould can be used untreated. To ensure that the cast concrete mould can be easily removed afterwards, the mould should be sprayed with release agent spray beforehand.

Remove the concrete planter from the mould. Design them in colours according to your own taste.
For our idea, we sprayed Marabu do it colour spray into a glass and then applied it to the planters with a brush. This idea harmonises with other decorative objects sprayed with the paint:

Discover in instruction 1451 how to make a decorative herb tower from terracotta pots. Also matching these ideas: Instruction 1449 explains how to cast a bird bath from concrete.
