Hello dear readers!
I already showed you what flower pots we made from different plastic buckets (I will leave a link to them at the end of the article). A couple of days ago they made another cool flower pot. It is not done very difficult and not for a long time.
The following materials and tools are needed for manufacturing:
· Plastic bucket;
· Knife, scissors, sandpaper;
· Liquid for nail polish remover or solvent;
· Acrylic paints;
· Bituminous varnish;
Homemade polymer clay (see the recipe here);
· Molds to your taste;
· PVA glue;
· Acrylic lacquer.
Step 1.
Cut off the upper rim of the plastic bucket. It can be removed using a knife and scissors.
Step 2.
We process the entire bucket with sandpaper and wipe it with nail polish remover.
Step 3.
Priming with white acrylic paint using a piece of foam rubber. Leave to dry for 1-2 hours.
Step 4.
Homemade polymer clay mold into molds. You can use any molds you like best.
Immediately, while the mass is damp, glue it to the pot with PVA glue.
After all the patterns have been pasted, we leave to dry for 24-30 hours.
Step 5.
Paint the entire pot with light beige acrylic paint and dry it.
Step 6.
We cover with acrylic varnish.
Step 7.
After the acrylic varnish has dried, we apply bitumen varnish only to the patterns and immediately wipe it off with a soft cloth. The bituminous varnish remains only in the recesses.
Leave to dry for several hours.
Step 8.
Finally, coat it with acrylic varnish again.
The pot is ready. Do not forget to make holes for water drainage.
As a stand for the pot, we used the lid from the same bucket, which was also painted and varnished.
Many people write that such pots are not reliable, the plastic quickly begins to crumble. I do not know what is the reason for the rapid deterioration of their pots, but we have such pots on the window for 3 or more years, and are still intact.

Do not throw away the mayonnaise buckets, they can be used to make wonderful flower pots.
