Clay Pot With Plastic Yoghurt Container, Recycle Project
Hi Friends. I made an amazing recycle idea in tis video. I made a clay pot with plastic yoghurt container. I made a recycle idea with plastic containers.

Feeling inspired?
Materials:
Plastic yoghurt container
brush
carbonate
acrilic colors
.
.
.
Drill a few holes in the bottom of the plastic container. For this, I heated a nail and drilled a few holes under the plastic container. Do not hold the nail with your hand, it can burn your hand when it gets hot.

Pour white acrylic paint into a bowl. I poured about 3 tablespoons of white paint to paint the 1.5 kg yoghurt container. I added some acrylic paint (terracotta colour) and mixed it. Add and mix colored paint little by little to get the color you want. When it was the color I wanted, I added 1 pack (40 gr) of carbonate. Do not add all the carbonate at once. The liquidity rate may vary depending on the brand of paint you use. I added carbonate and mixed well. And my painting material is ready.

I brushed the paint mixture on the yoghurt container. I evenly applied the paint all over the whole container.

.
While applying the paint mixture, you can also make different patterns with your brush. If you move the brush like a zigzag, you create a wave-like floor.

.
Clay pot is ready. You can let it dry and apply spray varnish. You need to apply matte varnish so that the clay appearance does not change.

This has been a really great recycling. I love the recycling project. Love nature and protect it.
This is my video about this pen holder. You can also see all details on my video.

I think sand is better option- also lightly sand your container before painting may hold paint better…?

Looks awesome and something I can afford to
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Not sure why a heated nail was required?? Just drill some holes in bottom…?
Could you use baking soda instead of carbonate? Thanks
I'm just wondering if you squeeze the container to pick it up will the finish crack?? I would think it wise to use a denser plastic would solve that but it does look fabulous as is.
