I wanted to make original flower pots, but there is no suitable material at hand?
Then let's make them from old rags - you must admit that this "good" is full in every house.
In this case, you can use almost everything that catches your eye: old towels, grandmother's terry bathrobe, sheets, pillowcases or some torn shirts.
In general, there are many options. The main thing is that the fabric fits the size - that is, there should be one whole piece, and not chopped shreds. Although ... Okay, this is a separate topic for the article.
The main stages of work
We make wooden stops from improvised materials on which we put on plastic pots of the shape you need. Then cut the pieces of fabric to size.
From water and cement we knead a thin solution. Sand is optional. But, in principle, it will not be worse.
Then we dip the prepared rags into the ready-made solution and leave for a short time so that it is well saturated.
We put rags on our "forms" and pour plenty of cement milk with a bucket.
Then we wait until the solution sets. So that the pots do not crack in the sun, they can be covered with plastic wrap.
Finished products can be painted, but can be left as is - there is already someone more like it.
