Hello dear readers and guests of the channel!
Now is the time to start making garden and country crafts. And today I will share with you how I made a cute and useful craft for my garden last year using a cake box.
What I needed is this:
· Cake box;
· Sand, cement;
· Cling film;
· Plastic bucket;
· Sandpaper;
Spray paint,
· Acrylic paint;
· Universal varnish in a spray can.
We usually buy paints and varnish in cans in hardware stores, we take the cheapest (or almost the cheapest) one. It costs from 100 r per can. Enough for a long time, well, depending on what to paint.
The cement was M400 grade, and the sand was ordinary, quarry.
Step 1.
I mixed a mixture of sand and cement in a proportion of 2 parts of sand and 1 part of cement. The solution was made liquidish so that it poured.
Step 2.
A suitable size plastic bucket wrapped with cling film.
Step 3.
The solution was poured into a cake box, about half and immersed in a bucket, so that a layer of solution of about 2 cm remained at the bottom. I poured water into the bucket so that it would not float up and left for 15-20 hours.
Step 4.
After a while, he took out the bucket and, while the solution was still soft, made holes for draining the water.
Left to dry for another 48 hours.
Step 5.
I cut open the box and took out the product.
I finished the edge with coarse sandpaper.
Step 6.
I painted the flowerpot from the spray can green.
When the paint was dry I added some acrylic pearlescent paint.
In general, you can paint as you like.
Step 7.
At the end I covered it with universal varnish for 2 times.
Here's a flowerpot-flower pot turned out.
