$7
20 Minutes
Easy
I made concrete planters for a total cost around 7 dollars. If I used the whole bag of concrete I could make 23 planters for that 7 dollars. There was only 20 minutes of hands on time and was very easy to complete.

    This is so cool...I will definitely be checking out your other videos. One question: Were you heating your food up in the oven along with your concrete pot?

    concrete is supposed to dry SLOWLY.. the slower the better. putting it in the oven was a very bad idea. is should have gone inside a plastic bag for a couple of days at least.. and then still kept moist for about a week by spritzing water on it, then dump out of the bucket and keep in a cool place covered loosely wih plastic. the more slowly concrete dries the stronger it becomes. it is a chemical process.
