How to make cement flower Pots?

The first step in making cement flower pots is to prepare appropriate molds. You can use discarded dishes, cardboard, milk cartons or buy special molds. The size of the Cement Flowerpot made depends on the size of the mold, and different specifications should also be selected according to the plants to be planted. Making flower pots can be divided into 6 steps.

Step 1. Select the appropriate mold

Choose two molds of different sizes to make them. The shapes of the two molds can be different. You can choose the shape and material of the mold before making. There needs to be a certain gap between the smaller mold and the larger mold. The cement basin that comes out has a certain thickness.

Models of flower pots can be made from ordinary cardboard.

Step 2. Spray the mold

After choosing the shape and material of the mold, the next step is to spray the mist lubricant on the mold, and the Cement Flower Pot made is easier to take out.

Step 3. Prepare the concrete

After preparing the materials, 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 a paste, and then it can be put into a large mold.

Notice:

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

2. Use some crack-resistant concrete to make sure that the concrete flower pots are not easy to crack.

Step 4. Decorate the Cement Planter

When making cement flower pots, the bottom of the Flower Pot needs to be perforated, leaving large drainage holes. The rim of the basin can be decorated with various materials such as pebbles, glass beads and shells. If you have the materials for painting, you can also decorate various patterns on the cement basin.

Step 5. Pour the concrete onto the mould

It is not difficult to make small cement flowerpots. As long as you prepare suitable molds and leave small holes at the bottom, they can dry quickly. However, it is more difficult to make larger cement flowerpots, thinking that they will take two days to dry. when.

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

Step 6. Let the Pot dry

The cement flower pot should be dried for at least one day to ensure that the Cement Pot produced has a strong hardness. After it is completely dry, the small mold inside can be taken out. Finally, dry the cement flower pot, wipe it with a damp cloth or sponge after a week, so that the cement pot is moistened, and then wait for two days to wet it again, and then you can use it for drilling.
