DIY Cement Pot Using a Basket and Papercrete

  • Hi everyone! In this video I used an old laundry basket to make a cement pot out of papercrete. I think the result turned out great. This is a large cement planter that you can easily and cheaply make at home. You can use any size basket you would like. Papercrete makes the final product lightweight yet very durable. As you can see the basket made a cool geometric pattern on the pot.
    Thanks for watching and feel free to ask any questions!

    Nice.
    i watch a lot of videos of people making flower pots. Most of the pots are beautiful, then the creators ruin them with gaudy colors that complete with the colors of the plants or flowers they put into them. I prefer either the natural color of the cement or subtle colors like your brown and tan.
    I refurbished all of our old faded and sometimes cracked plastic pots 2 years ago for about 10% of what it would have cost to buy new ones. I repaired the broken ones and painted them all in shades of brown &/or tan or one or two shades of green. Many admirers ask me where I bought them.
    Now I am contemplating making some cement pots and I am certainly not going to paint them bright orange and purple.

      I did mine with Petemoss in place of the paper pulp. It keeps the planter from being heavy and I used a cardboard box and packing peanuts and a trash bag to make the planter look like a huge boulder, it is a much better look, and more realistic. I look like a superwoman when I move it around lol. Just be sure you do not make the cement mixture too runny. I did the first try with another box inside to make the chamber for the potting soil. it seems to work better than the hand-packing of the cement mixture. Poring is easier than placing the cement in by hand. Oh, and the center box was covered by another trash bag to avoid a soggy box. or just fill the bag with something to make a place for the soil. it was a lot of fun and my failures made great fake rocks and gravel so no waisted cement and Pete moss. I just put them around my trees to reduce evaporation to save water. good luck

    Very nice and easy method. One suggestion is to put an 16 or 18 inch tile on top to level the to rim, keep the edge smooth. and keep it there for the drying process to keep the planter in shape.

    this ended better than i thought it would have. WELL DONE!
    my two cents : after finishing paint, id add to the vertical and horizonal grooves left by the "mold"
    Vertical groove: fit wooden dowels from top to bottom
    (one dowel per groove)
    Horizontal groves: fit twisted twine or soft metal wire aound the pot (one per grove)
    this would give it a nice aesthetic and if done with strong materials, would reinforce the pot itself.
    keep up the good work!!!
