Crafting Tiny Geometrical Concrete Planters Using Paper Molds

 

Project Overview: In this creative 4-minute tutorial, you'll learn how to craft geometric concrete planters using paper molds. These stylish and modern planters are perfect for showcasing your favorite plants or succulents, adding a touch of personalization to your space.

Material used:

• Cardboard sheets
• Cellotape
• Cement mixture
• Double-sided tape
• Sandpaper

Project Steps:

Step 1: Prepare Cement Mixture

• Start by preparing a mixture of cement, ensuring it has the right consistency for your project.

Step 2: Create Geometric Shapes

• Draw your desired geometric shape on paper and cut it out. Add cardboard sheets to the shape, allowing it to take on a three-dimensional form when folded. Create a smaller version of the shape following the same steps.

Step 3: Insert Cement Mixture

• Insert the prepared cement mixture into the larger geometric shape, ensuring it's evenly distributed. Place the smaller geometric shape in the center to form a hollow geometric structure. Allow the cement to dry for approximately one day.

Step 4: Remove Paper Mold

• Once the cement is dry, carefully remove the paper mold to unveil your concrete planter's raw beauty. You can further refine the planter's surface with sandpaper if desired.

Step 5: Add Personalization

• For a touch of personalization, you can add colors, decorative finishes, or paint to your concrete planter to match your decor or personal style.

Step 6: Repeat the Process

• To create additional planters, simply draw your desired shapes, add cardboard for stability, and insert smaller shapes inside. Pour cement, ensuring it fills the mold evenly. Allow each planter to set and dry before removing the paper mold.

Conclusion: In just 4 minutes, you've created a set of unique and stylish geometric concrete planters using paper molds. These modern planters are perfect for displaying your favorite plants or succulents while adding a personalized and artistic touch to your space.
