Flowerpot.

We threw out a lot of rags in our life, without even thinking that unusual flowerpots can be made from them for making a summer cottage. From old towels, tablecloths and cement create a special beauty, reminiscent of a sculpture.

In order to create such a masterpiece, you need a sufficiently strong fabric. Take old waffle or terry towels, just follow the strength of the material, too worn cloths will tear under the weight. In addition to the fabric we need: Sand. Cement. Water. Polyethylene. The form will serve us a bucket.

It is best to stock up on a pair of tight gloves and carry out all the work in them. Cache pp of rags and cement We dilute cement with water, it should resemble liquid sour cream in consistency. We dip the prepared rag into the solution and soak it completely. It is important to ensure that no dry spots remain, otherwise the technology will break and the expected result will not work.

We turn the bucket up in the afternoon, it is recommended to wrap it with a film, it will be easier to remove the product. On the bucket, gently place the soaked fabric and smooth the bottom. At this stage, cut a hole under the drainage.

Folds finish to taste. They are given unusual shapes or left to hang beautifully. Leave to dry. In the fresh air, the cement sets in about 5-6 hours, but for reliability, leave to dry for a day. We take out the bucket, turn over the resulting product. It remains to be beautifully painted to your liking.

It is in this simple way that real beauty is made. If desired, in the manufacturing process used decoupage to create a print. The stiffened cloth is cut by a hacksaw. Roughness are large sandpaper. Now it is worth thinking before throwing away a worn towel. It can serve us in a new capacity.

Good luck, thank you and you will succeed.👍👍👍
