Ingredients for making a cement flower pot:
- Two plastic flower pots- a big and a small (with design outside)
- Waste pen barrel
- Cement
- M sand
Step-2
Apply some oil inside the big pot. You can use any waste oil for this. Then, fill the small pots with sand or stones. This is to have a weight for the pot. Then only it will fix over the mixture. Apply oil outside the small pot.
Step-3
Mix M sand and cement in a 3:1 ratio. That is, add one cup cement into 3 cups of M sand. Mix it well. Add water into it and mix. Fill a shovel of mixture into the big pot. Place the pen barrel in the center of it. It is to get a hole in the center of the pot. Place the small pot in the center of it. Fill the remaining cement mixture in it. Shake it well to mix.
Step-4
After filling the mixture, put some cement powder on the top for a finishing look. It is to get the design perfectly. Wipe the sides of pots and clean the cement there.
Wait for 24 hours. One full day.
Step-5
Remove the pot from the mold. Take a hammer and hit slowly around the plastic pot. Takeout the small pot. Remove the pen barrel. Here, you get a beautiful cement flower pot. Pour water at least 3 days. Use it only after that.
