Create Modern Concrete Planters

I adore the simple things in life. I think concrete planters are beautiful. In one afternoon, I created several beautiful planters that could also function to best fit your needs.

Items Needed:

1 tub/bag of concrete (1 tub was $7)

Multiple lightweight  plastic containers or milk cartons

Optional:

Succulents

Cement Color  

Build your planters, cups, bowls or other items to size. I used multiple juice boxes, recycled plastic and more to create various depths and widths. In a disposable bowl or cup, mix together your cement and water based off the package instructions.  Pour into your designed container and let dry in the sun for 3 or more hours, based on the size.

Lastly, Brody helped me plant beautiful succulents into my planters. He's so helpful.

Another option is to paint the planters.
