Since they want to make pots, prepare in advance the appropriate materials, such as cement, river sand, which is the main material used to make pots, but also to prepare enough water. Garbage cans are used to make grinding tools. Spoon used to apply cement but also prepare a few plastic bags.
2. Cement and sand mix

Of course, some flower friends worry about whether the cement will crack, you can generally increase the proportion of cement to solve the problem of cracking.
For example, the ratio of cement and river sand according to 1.5:2 can be. In this process, the key point is to fully mix the cement and sand, you can spend more time, the cement as thick as possible, too thin to support the wall.
3. Touch tool preparation
Next to prepare a variety of sizes of touch tools, here the touch tool is relatively simple, using the home garbage can instead. In the touch tool padded with a layer of plastic film, the film must be flat, not by the fold, to avoid the cement dry, up not down.
4. paste cement
Then put on the gloves, put some prepared cement into the touching tool, first put the cement on the bottom of the touching tool, the thickness of 0.5-1 cm, the cement should be close to the bottom of the touching tool, and evenly coated, the bottom of the flower pot needs to leave a permeable hole, so in the process of applying cement, can not go completely closed.
Next, paste cement along the perimeter of the feeler, from the bottom to the top, and at the same time apply evenly oh. In the process of applying cement, do not squeeze into the folds of the plastic film, otherwise, the plastic film marks will be very deep when the mold is released, and the gap will be affected by the sturdiness of the flower pot.
The process of pasting cement along the wall of the touching device, so that one inch by one inch inside the touching device paste cement, and press the solid.
5. Smoothing the surface of cement
Just paste the cement to the inner wall of the touch are, the surface will be uneven, then you have to use the back of the spoon to smooth the surface of the cement, especially the mouth of the pot, you must use the spoon to scrape smooth, otherwise, it will be uneven.

7. Drying flower pots
After the above steps are done, it means a flowerpot has been done. Next, you can move the touch to the sun to dry, almost 24 hours to dry, after which you can take out the wave flower pot.
