Make Your Own Concrete Flower Pot

​​Most everyone knows that concrete is an essential material for almost any building in the country. However, many do not know that concrete has multiple artistic uses as well. With DIY instructions, the possibilities are endless! Here's one way from "DIY How To" to make a decorative flowerpot out of concrete using just a plastic bucket/large can and another smaller bucket. 

Steps: 

1. Mix the concrete amount needed for the size of your pot 
2. Fill your bucket/large can about half way with concrete
3. Fill your smaller jar/bucket with water to make it heavy (this is the area the soil and plants will go) 
4. Press the small jar/bucket with water into the larger one that is half-filled with concrete to create a hole 
5. Allow concrete to set and remove the buckets 

For a few modifications to the procedure, if you don't have a spare bucket, head to your local second-hand store for a cheap one that can get the job done! While shopping, consider the size that you are going to make. Larger sizes are great for an outdoor patio or back yard with big plants, while smaller ones are perfect to go on tables or counter tops indoors. 

If you’re thinking about making a smaller one or just want to add an extra artistic touch, personalize your creation by drawing, writing, or coloring the outside with some colored permanent markers. This makes your project a great gift to a friend or family member that nobody will be able to match. But, when your pot turns out too good-looking to give away, it can be an unforgettable decorative centerpiece in your home. Just don’t forget to sign your name on all your hard work!
