1) Once everything is ready, just go ahead and use the four egg trays to form a square wall. Just fit them together and then tape them so they won’t fall.

2) Fill your bucket with sand. Take your time because this part is fun. Make sure that the sand inside the bucket is dense. We don’t want it to fall apart when we use it later.

3) Once you have a perfect sand cylinder, put the egg tray mold over it. Be careful. We don’t want to ruin the cylinder sand.

4) Mix your cement. This is also very relaxing to watch. Go ahead and just mix it carefully.

5) Pour a little bit of cement into the cylinder sand. Make sure to let it dry a bit. The weight of the cement mixture can crush the sand mold.

6) Once that is dry, slowly pour more of your cement mixture. Don’t be shy and fill the egg tray mold and then put your recycled water bottle. This will serve as the feet of the plant pot that you’re making.

7) Don’t forget to put a hole in the middle. Let it dry completely.

8) Now, it’s time to remove the egg tray mold.

9) Once done. You’ll see how pretty your finished product is. There’s just one thing left to do. Remove all the sand.

10) That’s it! Look at how pretty it is. You can choose to paint it or put other designs. Or you can use it as it is.
