How to Make Your Own Planter Pot

Having plants in your home or office can add a touch of beauty and serenity. However, it can be hard to find the perfect pot for your plant. Making your own planter pot is a fun and easy DIY project that can solve this problem. Here's how to do it.

Materials

First, gather your materials. You will need:

Concrete mix

Water

Large plastic bowl

Small plastic bowl (slightly smaller than the large bowl)

Pam cooking spray or Vaseline

Paint and brushes (optional)

Instructions

1. Cut a hole in the bottom of the small plastic bowl. This will allow for the drainage hole in your pot.

2. Spray the inside of the large plastic bowl with cooking spray or Vaseline. This will make it easier to remove the pot when it dries.

3. Mix the concrete according to the package instructions. It should be a thick, paste-like consistency.

4. Pour the concrete into the large plastic bowl, about halfway full.

5. Place the small plastic bowl into the center of the concrete. Press down on it slightly to make sure it is secure.

6. Fill the remaining space between the large and small plastic bowls with concrete.

7. Tap the sides of the bowl with a rubber mallet to release any air bubbles.

8. Wait 24 hours for the concrete to set.

9. Carefully remove the plastic bowls from the concrete. You may need to use a knife to cut away any excess plastic that sticks to the concrete.

10. Sand the edges of the pot to smooth out any rough edges.

11. Paint the pot if desired. Allow the paint to dry completely before using the pot.

Conclusion

Making your own planter pot is a simple and cost-effective way to add some personality to your plants. Plus, you can customize the size and shape to fit your specific needs. With these easy to follow instructions, you'll have your own homemade pot in no time!
