A novice can easily make a beautiful concrete flowerpot made of cement.

If you want to make some different shapes and practical flowerpots, then making some cement flowerpots is a good choice. Beginners can easily make exquisite concrete flowerpots after reading the following specific operations. let's take a look at the production skills.

The first thing to make cement flowerpots is to prepare appropriate moulds. You can use discarded bowls, cardboard, milk boxes or buy special molds. The size of cement flowerpots depends on the size of the mold. You should also choose different specifications according to the plants to be planted and see how to make them.

1. Select the appropriate mold

The flowerpot above is made of two molds of different sizes, and the shapes of the two molds can be different. Before making, you can choose the shape and material of the mold, and there needs to be a certain gap between the smaller mold and the larger mold. Only the cement pot produced has a certain thickness.

A model of a flowerpot can be made from ordinary cardboard, and two cardboard molds of different sizes or shapes can be prepared for the next step.

2. Spray mould

After choosing the shape and material of the mold, the next step is to spray the foggy lubricant or mineral oil on the mold, which is very necessary to make the cement flowerpot easier to take out, especially when using the glass mold. if there is no lubricant spraying, the mold is basically disposable.

3. Prepare concrete

The next step is to mix the cement, you can mix the concrete on a unicycle or flat ground, preferably with some crack-resistant concrete, to make sure the concrete flowerpot is not easy to break.

After preparing the material, pour the cement into the flat ground, add water and river sand and stir properly. The proportion should be adjusted according to the instructions until it becomes paste and can be put into a large mold.

Note:

Be sure to wear gloves when making cement flowerpots, otherwise it is easy to hurt your hands, and cement is harmful to the skin.

4. Decorate cement flowerpots

When making a cement flowerpot, you can add a variety of ideas to make the cement pot more beautiful and practical. The bottom of the container must be perforated, leaving a larger drainage hole. The edge of the basin can be decorated with a variety of materials such as pebbles, glass beads and shells. If you have painting materials, you can also decorate various patterns on the cement pot, decorating some geometric patterns is very good.

5. Pour the concrete on the mold

It is not difficult to make small cement flowerpots, as long as you prepare a suitable mold and leave small holes in the bottom, it will soon dry, but it is more difficult to make larger cement flowerpots, thinking that it takes two days for them to dry.

When making a large cement flowerpot, you can also pour the cement directly into the mold, spray the lubricant at the bottom drainage hole, embed the pebbles, and take out the pebbles when it is slightly dry.

Of course, you can also wait for the cement basin to dry before drilling, put in the cement to flatten the surface, and then put in a small mold to make a cement basin bottom shape, the large grinding tools need to slide left and right, to ensure that there are no air bubbles on the edge of the cement basin, and the thickness of the basin is determined according to the gap between the large mold and the small mold.

6. Let the flowerpot dry

This is the last step in making a cement flowerpot. At least let the cement flowerpot dry for more than a day to ensure that the cement pot has a strong hardness. After completely drying, you can take out the small mold inside. If you are a mold made of cardboard, it can be peeled off directly, and the one made of glass can be directly broken.

Finally, dry the cement flowerpot, wipe it with a wet cloth or sponge a week later, make the cement pot wet, and then wait two days to wet it again, after which you can drill a hole and use it.

7. Plant plants

These are fresh and beautiful cement flowerpots, don't they feel very beautiful? The shape of the flowerpot actually depends on the mold you use, and the one with pattern will be more chic.

However, planting plants in cement pots is easy to absorb heat, do not put in places with too strong light, otherwise it is easy to burn plants.
