How to Make a Cement Towel Planter

    • Water
    • A bucket or wooden stump for shaping
    • Gloves for safety
  2. Prepare the Cement Mixture
    • Mix cement with water until it reaches a thick, smooth consistency.
  3. Soak the Fabric
    • Fully submerge the towel in the cement mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
  4. Shape the Planter
    • Drape the cement-soaked towel over an upside-down bucket, log, or mold to create the desired shape.
