Transform plastic into a high-quality stone look
Would you like to give your cheap-looking plastic planter a high-quality design? Nothing easier than that. To do this, you do not need any prior technical knowledge, nor a lot of material or tools.
In contrast to the real stone variant, such a planter even has a decisive advantage: The cladding usually only changes the dead weight minimally, so that the pot is still completely simple transport leaves.
instructions
- Sand the outer wall of your bucket with emery paper so that the insulation will stick well later.
- Use foam tubes that you cut lengthways as insulation material.
- Place the foam around the top of the bucket so that it forms a closed circle.
- Cut the ends off accordingly.
- Now you need waterproof and frost-resistant adhesive that also dries quickly.
- Apply a layer on the previously measured edge of the tub.
- Unfold the foam at the interface and press it onto the edge.
- Fix an aluminum tape where the two ends meet.
- Cover the floor with a tarpaulin.
- Spray the planter with any color (lacquer is available in the hardware store).
- Let the paint dry.
