I have been searching for ideas for a project and found these..
They are material soaked in cement and drapped over a bucket.
And tomorrow I have my nephew for the day and we are going to give it a go..can’t be that hard!!!
Seeing Nosypotters pics of concrete settee idea reminded me of the time above said nephew was asked to fill sand bags in work. being the creative type he made himself a chair.
while i have been trawling the net i came across sand bag and concrete seating
earth bag houses
raised beds
table!!!!
pebble
jelly mould planter
or my favourite..
what do you think?

Blimey....there's some 'out there ' ideas here.
Those material/cement pots remind me of a pot one of my elderly customers had(she won't be a customer this year as she recent.y went into care).....I couldn't work out what it was made of but I decided in the end it was asbestos...the only asbestos pot I've ever seen...but it was a similar shape to those.

Gugelhupf not jelly mould. Jelly mould wouldn't have the hole in the middle - pretty either way. Love the towers.
I was just about to go out and buy some more pots for my latest Hostas but the fabric pots look great. Are they just fabric or is there a layer of chicken wire as well?
Don't forget drainage holes!
PS I found the instructions on Pinterest - one thing, though, it says to stand in the sun and leave to dry. I suspect this was not written in the UK in February ?

Those first ones remind me of the handkerchief vases that were popular at one time! I could have done with some of the those sandbags recently. Some amazing ideas there, the table reminded me of egg boxes :)
