SO ADORABLE, and I Love the design you painted on them!
They look quite professional, yet you cannot beat the simplicity of making them. And I LOVE that you can make a bunch at one time... The work involved to set up & mix ingredients is the same for one as it is for 10~20, SO TO ME IT'S A NO~BRAINER~ MAKE 20... OR 30!
Thanks for sharing this Fun Project!

For most cement products if you place them in plastic, it improves strength.

Sorry, I wasn’t very clear on this. No, you wrap whatever you have made in plastic, like a plastic garbage bag. This keeps the concrete moister longer and improves strength. Most Concrete reaches its full strength in 28 days. Smaller items probably don’t need to be wrapped long. It probably depends on the cement you are using.
Have a question about this project?
There are liquid and powder colorants. Tints all is a liquid one.
Very impressed with these pots. They looked pretty simple with your photos and video! Could you use plaster of Paris instead of concrete ???? 👍😍
You might be able to use something like prune and seal. It's actually for trees when prune. Trees heal themselves so it is rather useless for that purpose. I bought it specifically for sealing the inside of my porous pots.
