Great idea & good job! Suggestion- make several drain holes in the bottom before cement sets. This is better for the plants when you water them!😊

Really good job. Personally I dont like the burnt wood look, but the craftsmanship and care you put into this are A1.

you are a true crafts man people can learn so much from watching you work a fantastic job

Love it Lesa, wonder if you could create some kind of stencil or pattern unique to the chateau that you could mould into the outside.

Lisa, I love the planter you made. I think it is perfect for the cottage to add beauty to the window sills. Kathy USA 🇺🇸

this is so amazing !!!!

super beautiful !!!!

🌟👏👍🍀💐

👏👏. It turned out really nice and goes so well on the window sill. I wasn’t sure at first when you wanted to paint it, but as usual Lesa was correct 👍👍. I think it will need a couple of drainage holes, maybe put them in whilst the cement is wet? Annie & Brian

Using Yougert with moss blended into it. Paint on containers for a natural look.

Love the planters they will look amazing in the arches.

I think it turned out fine and really nice quality stuff you might get local orders for more of them who knows ;) well done Lesa not surprised it went well

Well done I like you painting it 🇫🇷🇺🇸

Encore une réussite félicitation , congratulation

When I lived in nz we dug up loads of broken china in gardens, which I set in concrete paving rounds. Plastic bag inside a bucket as mould then topped with a sort of mosiac pattern

Good job

It looks great

Looks good, could you add a stamp onto the outside of the planter for the chateau?

It looks great! For the next one, perhaps a couple of drainage holes on the bottom would be good idea.

Drainage holes?

Nice job!

You need thinner gloves for crafts

Big bravo ! I'm going to do the same thing in my garden and I wait tour vidéo on your other project of waterfall

Great result ❤

Might want drainage holes in planter.

That looks brilliant…I bet Tim Holtz never thought his sprays would be used for something like that. 💖💖💖

❤🇱🇺❤🇱🇺❤🇱🇺❤🇱🇺❤🇱🇺❤😊

Don't forget a drainage hole lol works well 😊 there are heaps you can create 😅

That turned out great! And will be sturdy with the wire mesh inside!

Pouring old yogurt over it & it will age itself.

Well done Lesa! Looks like it belongs there!

May be some drain holes in bottom,just use a bit of pipe 😊🇦🇺

🔨🔨

Love it

Drainage holes may be good, but for a small planter like this with stones in the bottom should be good as long as you don't over water. It will save watering every day unless it is too hot. My advice is to try without holes first.❤

WTG Lesa. Great job. There are so many things you can do to these. You can use glass stones from the dollar store, or broken glass inserted in the outside while the cement is still wet. It can turn out like a mosaic. You can do your own pattern, etc. I watch Helen Wyatt. She is an 86 year old grandma in Georgia. The things she made with cement are beautiful. She now does live streams and not so much cement. She made all kinds of pots using old jeans from her grandson. She even covered teddybears in cement and painted them. Now that you got the skill, possibilities are endless.❤

Fabulous job Lesa I just might try that myself thanks xx

awesome! I'm going to try that

Looks Great! Don't forget a drainage hole! Well done

It's beautiful. Favorite line: "I was never good at that either." You're a great artist, not just a good one.

Well done Lesa! Wonder if you need drain holes?

Who new playing mud pies could be such fun, and the end result is excellent! Making some more with your grandson, that will be fun for the both of you. Could you write your grandsons name on the front and date it. Would be lovely to look back on at a later date, Well done

I love your planter. It looks beautiful 😍

That looks really good and the money you have saved ❤

Well done, Leesa. Maybe put a draining hole in the next ones.

Always use gloves with cement!

Wonderful imitation stone trough. You might like to look up Gardeners' World, tuffa stone trough making. Their recipe substituted peat moss for one part of the sand to make the imitation stone trough, lighter in weight. Instead of oiling the plastic container that they used to form cement mixture on they covered the plastic or styrofoam container with plastic, then covered the plastic sheeting surface with the cement mixture. As long as you are experimenting, you might like to try a tuffa stone trough made with one part cement, one part sand and one part peat moss... this is from memory but I believe that was the proportions. They found styrofoam fish boxes in which fresh fish was sold worked a treat to form their trough on. I do like the idea of the sand castle form to shape your cement on... innovative. I think you can also color the cement while mixing it with natural products or even acrylic craft paint. Keep up the great programming.

great job! love it! I might try this at home. 😀

That looks great!! You can paint the outside with natural yoghurt to help it age more quickly but even if you don’t in a year it’ll look great I reckon. Could you put drainage holes in the bottom as part of the making process? Commenting as I watch so you might mention this.

Please give more details about the color you sprayed on it, etc. I love it!
