Then it is filled with the concrete mixture. You can start by making a single pumpkin and add more to it later. It’s a really cute garden decoration and then you will have your Halloween decoration always ready!

Flower pots are something that is always needed. If you have a garden, terrace or balcony, this project is for you. Just like candle holders, it is the size of the plants that will determine the size of the pots. You can create something small for succulents or something larger for garden plants.
Apart from being original, this planter is also very durable and resistant. It’s concrete we’re talking about!
