All you need is a cement, a cloth (for example, a tablecloth or a large, medium towel), a large container for preparing the mixture, any object for shaping, for example, an old bucket. The bucket can be taken any: wide, narrow, elongated.

From this will depend on the shape of the future product.

So, in the tank you need to prepare a cement mixture, it should not be too thick and homogeneous. Then the fabric should be completely immersed in this mixture. Leave her there for ten minutes. This is necessary to ensure that the fabric is as well as possible soaked in the cement mixture.

Then remove the fabric and hang it on the inverted bucket. The fabric should be gently straightened, if desired, to make folds, asymmetrical shape and so on. Leave everything you need in this form until completely dry. Then remove the blank from the bucket, feel free to paint it in any color you like. By the way, use paints that are suitable for concrete.

From plastic bottles, you can also make the original hanging pots.in which the plants will look quite impressive and unusual. In order to make it yourself, you will need: a rope, sharp scissors and several 5-liter bottles of plastic. Of course, it is quite possible to take a 3-liter. It all depends on what kind of flower pots you plan to put in this product.

So, carefully cut off the part of the bottle with the neck, as in the work you will need only the lower, straight part of the bottle. By the way, here you can also, based on your own preferences, adjust the height of the product. Someone decides to make high pots, and someone low.

It all depends on your taste.

Next, make neat holes from two sides through which you will then pass the rope. Be sure to make holes on the same level so that after hanging there is no skew.

Then you can decorate the product as your heart desires. Using a special retractable knife, you can cut the original patterns around the perimeter of the bottle, you can simply draw patterns or whole pictures on its surface, you can cut the top part of the waves, and so on. It all depends on your imagination and individual preferences. As a result, you just have to pass the rope, strengthen it and boldly hang the product in the chosen place.

Wooden flowerpots will also look original and unusual in your garden. Wood products are always in perfect harmony with plants. In such an object you can safely put a pot with ordinary flowers that resemble lianas.

They come in different sizes, and all you need to do is to carefully treat the surface and paint it in any color. With the help of the boxes, you can safely create whole compositions, originally building them one above the other.

Also wooden pots can be made with the help of a large log. True, for the manufacture of such a product you will need a brute masculine force.

Take as a basis the product that you like the most in form. For example, a vase or bucket. Turn over and start to make the frame with wire. Make it easy. It is enough to completely braid the entire surface, and then remove the frame from the product.

Next, prepare a plaster mix. Pre-prepared strips of cloth, gently soak in the solution for literally two or three minutes, not more. Next, reach for one strip and overlay them on the prepared frame. This should be done gently, evenly, layer by layer. As a result, you should have a product thickness of at least two centimeters.

The walls of the resulting gypsum blank must be processed with the remaining mixture to level the product. Leave it to dry completely, about 10 hours, maybe more. Then you can decorate it based on your own fantasy. For example, paint with waterproof paints, decorate with original stones, shells and so on.
