- Time to run down to your local baker and grab a big old container of cookies…
Even though those cookies are yummy, we want that decorative lid. It is perfect for this project.
Let’s get started:
We're going to measure it straight across and get about 10 inches. Lay out some cardboard and we're going to pick a bowl that's round for us to mark and this one is a perfect size. Just go ahead and lay it on the cardboard and take a marking pin to get you that perfect circle.
Now it's time to mix up our cement. The best way to do it is to pour a little bit of water into your mixing bucket first and then go ahead and add your concrete.
A word of advice: do this in a well-ventilated area, you can tell that it gets pretty dusty.
If you need a little bit more water, just add it.
Now I use my drill and a mixing spoodle to put it together. If you need to hand mix it, go ahead, just do a little bit at a time so it's not too hard.
Once we get it mixed, carefully lay it inside the bucket. You can see the consistency here is like some really good pudding, just put it in.
Now once you get the right amount in, you're going to go ahead and just shake it all up. This allows that concrete to spread and fill all the little gaps. If you need to add a little bit more, remember, just shake it back and forth.
Cut some strips of wood, this one is going to be a full 10 inches across and the other ones are going to be four each. So, you're going to put the large one first and then glue up the ends of the other two pieces. Don't be hesitant to use your finger to spread them out; this is non-toxic glue. Lay it out and fold it in. We want to make sure that all the pieces of wood fit inside the circle.
Now take some popsicle sticks and some hot glue, you're going to lay this across the top, this is going to be our clamp that is going to hold the pieces together while that wood glue dries. Once you get one side done, flip it over. We're gonna do the other side also exactly the same way as we did the first side.
Once you get these pieces on, it's so strong you couldn't even pull them apart if you tried, and that's what we want.
It's time to go ahead and drill them because we want to put these caster legs on there one for each side of the boards. So, take a drill that allows those caster wheels to go right inside and drill it all the way through. See that it fits great and all we need to do is take some hot glue, put it in and all four wheels go right in there.
Now it's time to take those wood and the wheels and we're gonna just shake it back and forth let it sink right into the concrete this is what's going to hold it together, just keep shaking it, and once you get it in there it's going to hold just great.
Let it dry for about 24 hours go ahead and turn it back over after that 24 hours is up we're going to use a knife and we're going to start cutting away the plastic, just do this because once you cut it, and be careful we don't want to cut up the side of the concrete, we need to get some air in there that's what's going to release our mold from from the concrete. Just keep working it all the way around the side and once you get it up, look at that! Look at that smooth beautiful concrete it looks like it even has a mirror finish to it. I couldn't have been more happy.
Now it's time to go ahead and take it outside and test it make sure that it spins on those wheels and we've got the perfect base for a rolling planter. It works perfect, you can roll it around clean underneath and it looks great!
I hope this inspired you to build your own concrete rolling DIY planter thanks for watching home talk and we'll see you next time!

The pots upgrade was a huge fail! The rolling planter however was a big success!!!
My thoughts as well. I hate what she did to the pots 🤦♀️
I have to agree 100% the pots looked better before she did it
I definitely liked the pots better before she did what she did to them. Poor pots.
I think they came out nicely. Success depends on whether or not you get what you were going for.
Those big pots were beautifully glazed. She made them look like a kindergarten project.
Sadly I agree .. I loved the original pots
Yes.
They look like they were originally painted white and really need to be repainted because the paint is peeling off them. They looked brand new before she got her hands on them.
I’m not even going to watch that part.
They look messy now
I liked the pots better before.
Agree!
Me too.
@@debraclark3080 me three !
I agree 💯
Honestly, me, too.
Liked the pots way better before the "upgrade".
Me too, Charlotte
I agree
That beautiful glazed finish! Sad.
IN my opinion
Maybe she wanted them to match the front porch 🤷
@@sandasturner9529 She should've matched her porch with the original pots😂
Those would be gorgeous stepping stones too
I'm sure you already know this, but yes, they would be gorgeous as stepping stones, however, let's not forget to put the barbs in or the really heavy duty thick chicken wire into the cement for stepping stones so they don't break. :)
Will have to eat a lot of 🍪
Would the painted pots be inclined to show signs of wear (chipping ..scrapes and so on ) after time.
The cookie lid...WOW...Impressive! 💙💙💙
I'm glad I'm not the only that liked the pots before the "makeover", the before look, looked more classier and expensive, actually. 😅
I love the rolling planter idea! I also love that it gives me a great excuse for having to buy more cookies!
😂
Lol..I’ll eat the cookies..probably not make this😂
1:55 I liked the pots way better before she painted them!
I definitely liked the pots better before the makeover. Don't get me wrong, they did look good, I just prefer before.
I graduated from High School with a Laura Yochim. Might you be the same?? Hello, then. If not, sorry to intrude.
@@ThomasWLalor that is actually my married name
@@laurayochim1372 Sorry. Did not mean to intrude.
I was thinking the same. I would have kept the pots like they were. Just my personal preference.
Ruined the pots!
So like the rolling planter !
I like the big pots in their original form, they were beautiful.
But thanks for sharing.
Agree with others, the pots looked better before the 'makeover'. I did like the rolling base for flower pots, but I chuckled a bit when I saw the recycling symbol from the cookie cover. 🤭
Crazy how all of the details come out from the lid!
Instead of 1 lid-1 plant stand…Spray the cookie lid with Pam or any other cooking spray. Concrete will pop right out, and you can use it again 😊
The ceramic pots were beautiful. Unfortunately she spent a lot of time, money and effort trying to “improve” them… but at least she’s happy with them.
The rolling planter idea is first class!! I've got a couple of very large pots that are hard to handle. Thanks.
I agree, the pots were nicer before. I do love the pot roller idea, I have a very large potted plant I bring in on cold nights, I have protected the plant since my grandsons birth ( it was a gift to his mom at the hospital from our church) he now is a senior in high-school. My wooden roller is getting a bit old.
Love this rolling pot holder!
What happens to the pots when it rains?
I loved the rolling planter idea that is such a versatile technique that looked more like a home decor piece. Honestly so beautiful. I’m not to excited about those big pots maybe add more color without the texture. Idk not my cup of tea.
Not my cup of tea either.....they were uglier after she done what she did to them.
@@alwaysachevysilveradogirl7475 And those pots were Expensive! She ruined them in my opinion.
@@charliem.7492 100% agree
YEP, THE POTS LOOKED WAY BETTER THE WAY THEY WERE ORIGINALLY!
Same here. the pots were beautiful before. Love the rolling planter base.
Rolling stand love it. Planters not so much.
The rolling cement base is a great idea!!
Suggestion- instead of using spackle, try ceiling or wall spray texture. It sprays evenly, and you can adjust the texture by how you spray. It’s basically drywall mud in a texture spray can. When it dries, seal it with oil based KILZ spray primer sealer then color how ever you want! (35 yr handyman here in NCalif wine country)
"What we want is that decorative lid." Speak for yourself! I want the cookies! Lol. 😂😉
But seriously, that plant dolly is really cool. It looked almost like a cake when the plastic was taken off.
I guarantee those cookies did not last long! 😆
@@GoodlyEarth 😂
Those glazed pots were lovely. I don't know why she ruined them because her end product looked amateurish next to the original glazed pots.
Those pots were absolutely beautiful before. I'm waiting to see after
Super Pretty Neat Idea the rolling planter I love it & you can color it if you want💛🍀👍
I really liked the rolling pot holder, very creative. The pots on the other hand started out alright but looked like crap when upgraded.
Can’t you put petroleum jelly in the bottom of the plastic container first, and then pour the concrete so you can reuse the plastic container again and again?
It would leave it greasy looking and greasy feeling as well. Plus it would cause it to get dirty much faster because the dust/dirt would stick to the petroleum jelly.
Oil is best.
@@alwaysachevysilveradogirl7475 You just wash them after you pull them from the mold
Idea#1, great. Idea#2, a lot of work for little return!
I love it!! Great idea. Definitely gonna try it
What kind of concrete mix did you use? Thank you
Pots are so cool !
I would spray the finished concrete with a clear lacquer to extends the life and protect against sun, water and physical damage.🙂👍
Beautiful 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽I love ❤️ the rolling planter stand 👏🏽👏🏽
Awesome idea. Would have done the base a bit differently though by interlocking the wood (think Legos) and drilling holes in the sides; then putting dowels through them and hot gluing those in place. The dowels would have then been submerged into the concrete. I think those changes would give it additional strength and a longer lifetime.
Yeah, everyone is commenting on those pots. They did look better before, but they match her home better now.
I LOVE the cement planter roller! A word of advice to the man making it: The word is *"across",* NOT *"acrost".* Thanks so much, though! Beautiful craftmanship & perfect description.
Sometimes creativity can just go too far, the pots were beautiful before she transformed them, but the rolling planter idea is awesome!
I love learning from you 😊
Thank you
Margo
What a great idea the rolling planter stand love it.
That's actually a really cool idea!
Really cool ideas! Thanks!
Those pots were so beautiful. I cant believe she put spackle on them !
Love, love, LOVE the DIY rolling planter!! As for the refurbished pots.. I was really nervous about her painting them any shade of white. I literally said to myself, 'why is she doing that after all the hard work she just put into them?!' BUT, they came out BEAUTIFULLY!! And look great in front of the door like that!
MARVELOUS IDEA
Really great ideas ❤
That rolling planter!!! It looks beautiful!! Could you add oil or something to not have to cut it ? I would want to make a bunch!
Yes, I bet if you just spray them with a little oil they will definitely separate easier
@@GoodlyEarth Thanks!!
If you lightly coat the inside with cooking oil, it does help. :)
@@charliem.7492 Thank you!!
I’ve been saving the plastic packaging from Costco pumpkin pies to use as stepping stone molds. The spray oil is a great idea.
they look beautiful
SORRY LADY BUT THE POTS LOOKED WAY BETTER THE WAY THEY WERE ORIGINALLY!!
Cookie base is a go!
The tall pots were better before.
Those ceramic pots were gorgeous before the makeover which completely ruined them. The rolling plant caddy is pretty cool.
Super awesome ❤👍👍👍
Wow! Love the rolling planter idea! Thanks for sharing,
Thank you so much, you inspire me to be more creative! 😊🦋
It would have been a good idea to use a sander and buff the shine off of them so the Dry Dex had something to adhere to. Then apply your spackle. Turned out pretty good. they compliment the wall behind them.
Such an awesome and inexpensive idea! The concrete can also be painted if desired! Thank you for sharing.👏👍🏽
Great job guys🙌 I really love the caster idea. ♥️🙌
Delightful 😁🙂 !!!
Your pots are fine. Everyone has diffrent likes and dislikes. These do go good with your house. It dosn't matter what others like. As long as you like them it's great.
I love the pots! I use plaster to fix a lot of my outdoor statues & birdhouse as they break from kids or accidental falls. I love that you can design the texture however you choose & that it dries white.
They match the front better now. It looked a little dark before that. At the end of the day, she love it and that's her business. 😁👍🏽
I think the pots looked much better and expensive than the makeover. They look cheap and rough after. But if you like thats all that matters, you can always respackle them.😮
Liked the pots before the redo
That spakle is going to come off as soon as it rains🤪😂😂😂
Love the glazed pots before she gooped them😮
Instead of 1 lid-1 plant stand…Spray the cookie lid with Pam or any other cooking spray. Concrete will pop right out, and you can use it again 😊
The pots, meh. If I wanted that look I’d find a couple trash cans and make them look like concrete pots. Then I’d sell the expensive pots.
The pots are a trainwreck.
Great ideas love them both thanks sharing
I definitely like the rolling planter stands. However, I did not like the textured pots. The wire did not help anything. I think colore without the texture would be better.
Spackle and spray paint over glazed pottery is like painting your car with house paint and a brush.
TY!
I really loved the rolling planter stand. Not a fan of the pot makeover. I don't think the sparkling will hold up well outdoors without being sealed really really well.
If you put a coating of washing up liquid on the inside of the cookie lid to act as a releasing agent ,you can re use the cake cover or just spray a grease /oil for non stick food on inside . To enhance the strength of the concrete use a drill set it on Hammer and place it against the wooden cross members ,this gets rid of air pockets.
beautiful, awesome idea!
Looks great!
Awesome DIY!
Pots looked better in original condition
Great idea!!! Thanks!!!
🍃🤗🍃
Like the rolling plant 🪴 holder
The first demonstration is the best. Painting the two large pots with some texturing material would've been much better. Thank you for your effort.👍
Crazy they are beautiful Before all the messsing around
I've been pouring cement in random things for 30 years, lolol. Inuse natural pigments too color my mix before pouring. It is super addictive!
Very nice for your house. Looks great.
$75 pots became something everyone asks if you found them by the road. 😢
Love this! ❤️
Brilliant!
I think the pots match the house. Good job.
I like the Rolling Planter.
I get the whole DIY movement, kuddos to you all and to your ingenuity. However, please do so responsibly by taking the time to set paint boxes to do your projects in so that the aerosol paint and/or chemicals you choose to use are caught within the enclosed, or shielded reinforcement area. Its not only a courtesy to your neighbors, but most importantly, keeping our environment in mind. Thank you👍
Those GLAZED pots are actually expensive and usually homeowners don’t cheap out on their plant pots ….
I cannot wait to try this
Love it 😊
Great idea
Love the concrete plant roller stand. The pots were beautiful before. Not impressed with the “upgrade”; now they look tacky and cheap.
This is a brilliant idea.
I wish I could have had those pots before she ruined them. I would have gladly bought her something similar to destroy. Then she could have the look she was going for in front of her house and I could have those tasteful, classy-looking planters in front of mine.
How creative!
Can't wait to try the concrete plant stand with rollers😀
Another good excuse to buy Cookies....
I loved those gorgeous pots before they were wrecked. Now they look awful. The concrete plant tray is nice though. However, using power tools is out of my comfort zone, to make the cross and the wheels to roll the planter on. But it's a great idea.
Sorry, but I want to clarify that my "like" is for the concrete plant roller. The large pots looked better before.
Excellent
