This is a 3 piece concrete mold for a plant pot. You can scale it to the size you need, just don't go to small or the walls will be too thin. 

  • 1x center piece
  • 2x side piece
  • 4x clips

STEPS:

  1. Clip the sides together
  2. Put a line of hot glue on the inside of the pot to seal the gap between the sides.
  3. Use Hot glue to attach the center piece to each of the sides.
  4. Spray cooking spray liberally into the inside of the mold so that the concrete can be removed easily.
  5. Mix your concrete. Use a sieve to remove larger rocks from the concrete mix before adding water if you want a smoother finish.
  6. Pour a quick setting concrete mix into the mold a little bit at a time, tapping the walls to get rid of bubbles along the way.
  7.  Allow it AMPLE time to dry before removing it. I recommend at least a couple days. Keep it in a dry area when setting. If you remove it too early, it will crumble.
  8. To remove the pot, take off the clips, and GENTLY begin to wiggle the sides off. Remove the center last by GENTLY squeezing it in each direction until it pops out. 
  9. Sand the exterior with fine sandpaper and spray it with a laquer/clear primer to keep it from shedding dust. Paint if you want.
