Steps to make your own concrete towel planter
You wanted to make your own concrete towel planter and we’ve got you! Here are the simple steps you need to take to create this stylish and practical home accessory. First, prepare your concrete mixture. We will be using Quickcrete, so mix it with water according to the package directions.
Next, find a mould or form that you would like to use for the base of your towel planter. A simple plastic container will work perfectly. If you want to get creative, you can use an interesting shaped object as your mould – just make sure it is food-safe if you plan on using it for plants. Line your mould with a layer of plastic wrap, then pour in your concrete mixture.
When you are ready to begin, your mould or form should be attached to a sturdy stand or placed upside down on a stool. Make sure that the stand is stable and that the mould or form is secure before beginning. If you are working with a large or heavy mould or form, it may be necessary to have someone help you to secure it in place.
Next, you’ll need to soak a towel or two in your concrete mixture. It’s important to make sure that your towel is really soaked with the concrete mix so that you don’t end up with a weak and soft planter. Once your towels are soaked, carefully wrap them around the outside of your mould, being sure to smooth out any wrinkles or creases.
The amount of concrete mix you’ll need to create your towel planters will depend on the size and number of towels you’re using. One bucket of the concrete mix should be enough to cover one large towel and two smaller towels.
Before you drill holes in the bottom of your concrete towel planter for drainage, be sure to allow it to dry thoroughly. This will help ensure that your plant doesn’t become overwatered. If desired, you can then paint your concrete tower planter.
