How to use residual materials after repair

The design of flower pots, especially the low-cost segment, can rarely be called a model of high art.





Same type stamped cylinders and cones are a dull sight, to correct the impression of which is not always under the power of even the lush greenery of our favorite plants.





Fortunately, flowerpots Flower stands can be made with your own hands. You don't need anything special to do that. Even the remnants of repair materials and what we usually think of as garbage will do.

How to make small pots we have written before, and today we will focus on large-scale compositions for a garden, greenhouse or spacious house.

As the main solution, we will use ordinary cement. Classic recipe of concrete: 1 part of cement, 2 parts of sand, 3 parts of filler, for example, pebbles, shells, marble chips or multicolored aquarium soil.

An unusual pot of beer bottles and concrete You will need

• linoleum
• 6 ceramic tiles 20x60 cm or trimming tiles of similar size
• 15-20 glass bottles
• cement, sand, water
• concrete-paint
• plastic bowl

Status of work

1. Mix cement mortar.
2. Roll two rings out of plastic. The height of the rings should be approximately the length of the bottle neck, and the difference in diameter between the rings should be twice the diameter of the bottles.
3. Place the smaller ring in the center of the larger one on the plastic film.
   
   
   
4. Then put all the bottles in the gap between the rings bottom up. Although it would be more convenient to first pour the solution.
5. Fill the gap with the prepared solution.
   
   
   
6. Give the concrete time to freeze, and in the meantime fill the bowl with 3/4 sand.
7. Level and tamp the sand, and then at the same distance from the center and perpendicular to the surface of the sand insert 6 ceramic tiles into it.
   
   
   
8. Tamper around the tiles of sand and fill its surface with a layer of solution 4-5 centimeters thick. Let the solution freeze.
9. Then carefully remove the layer of sand.
   
   
   
10. Now we need to form the bottom of our kashpo and fix a tile stand in it. To do this, turn the ring with bottles of concrete up. Fill the inner circle with sand, slightly missing the edge of the ring, tamp the sand and insert a tile stand perpendicular to its surface.
11. Pour over the sand a layer of cement solution. Let him solidify. Walk on the hardened surface of the concrete with a grinder.
12. Paint the flower stand with acrylic paint, which will fill all the pores and hide irregularities.
    
    
    
    Fill the container with soil and transplant your favorite plants into it.
    
    
    
    
    

The basis for a wonderful flower bed in the country can serve even... an old iron bed. Bortic will act as a fence, and the back will become a support for climbing plants. Alpine slide now will not surprise anyone, and here everyone is envious - a whole art object!

You'll need a pottery.

• toilet-lid
• 12 toilet paper bushings
• 30 Curved Plastic Parts of the Same Shape
• 1 large plastic sinkhole
• 1 m plastic water pipe
• spray paint
• cement, sand, water
• circular

Status of work

1. Mix cement mortar.
2. Put the toilet seat on the plastic film. Fill it in level with the edges of the solution. Let the solution freeze.
3. Put on one edge of the resulting concrete oval a layer of solution, and in it a circle of cardboard bushes.
   
   
   
4. Form the side of the solution on the remaining part of the stand.
5. Put all plastic parts in the solution at the same distance from each other except five.
   
   
   
6. Let the composition dry a little, then fill all the bushes with cement mortar.
7. In the center of the circle of bushings vertically install a plastic pipe.
8. Pour the space between the sleeves with solution.
   
   
   
9. Insert a funnel into the free end of the pipe, fill it with solution, install plastic parts around the perimeter of the funnel, forming a place under the aquarium.
   
   
   
10. Paint the product with spray paint.

12. Unusual. flower-stand And the aquarium is ready.
    
    
    

Perhaps the kashpo and flower stands that we showed today will not please everyone. But, using the above method, everyone can make from the remains of building materials their own, ideally suited in size and shape.
