Gardening and plant care have become a favourite hobby of many recently. Everyone loves to adore their homes with a lot of beautiful plants and enhance it’s beauty by placing it on wonderful pots. These pots are available in the market in different sizes and designs, but expensive too. How about we make it at our home itself?
Here’s a simple and easy method to make your own DIY flower pot at home using few things. This is made up using M Sand and few other things like net, paint etc. It won’t cost much for you to bring up the required materials, but you will get an amazing flower pot that looks class. So let’s see how to make it.
First choose a flat surface and spread a plastic sheet above it. Then we need a net. If you are planning to buy it for making this pot all you need is a measurement of 1m and 11 inch. Now make a mixture of M Sand and cement in a 3:1 ratio. Mix it well using required amount of water.
Place a frame at the two sides of the net using bricks or a wooden panel. Then apply the M Sand mixture into the net. It should be applied by leave an inch of gap at the top of the net. In this way make four slabs of 20 cm as one next to the other and leave it to rest for a day.
When it get well set after a day, remove the frame and plastic sheet. Now bend each sides to make a square. Now joint the adjacent sides using the M Sand mixture. Repeat this same procedure for joining the inner sides of the pot.
To make the base of the flower pot, keep a net at the centre and apply some dry cement. Fill the base with M Sand and flatten it well. After a day fill it with water and keep it for three or four days. After two days make putty like a dough to decorate the pot.
Using the putty make any design for your flower pot and leave it to dry for a day. After it got dry make holes at the sides that have no design. This hole is provided for the excess water to drain. Now let’s color the pot. Spread the color of your choice as the base first. Then apply colors to each part according to your choice.
Let the colors get completely dry. Then you can fill the pot with sand and plant your favourite sapling in it. It not only helps saving money rather than buying expensive pots, it also gives a personal satisfaction to make it with your own hands. Now you can enjoy the beauty of the plant and the pot you made by yourself every single day!
