Large stone or concrete planters can cost anywhere from $50 to $300 EACH from a high-end store. I'm going to show you how to make a set of three planters for under $70. In this video I walk you through the steps to achieve a texture, faux-concrete look that's durable and can be usee outdoors. The secret to achieving this: some plastic planters, drywall joint compound and latex paint! ✨

I find it really funny how people make rude comments and then say “sorry”. You didn’t like what she did? Do it your way at your home, and most of all, keep your mean words to yourself. 😡 They turned out beautiful, Alli.

@mouthofthesouth4267 11 месяцев назад

Thank you 🎯🎯🎯🎯💯💯💯👍I just said the exact same thing in a reply section a few comments up🤬 either give her advice on a different way that may work out for a little bit longer or just keep your BS to yourself ok like that are the reason not a lot of ppl have the guts to get on here and share their knowledge with ppl that would genuinely find it helpful all for fear of the nastiest people who literally thrive on their superior attitudes oh wait I should've said self proclaimed superiority because they're not any better than the things they say🤬🤦🏼‍♀️ thank you for standing up for her it takes a REAL person to be kind apparently there's a lot of fake ppl in the world anymore it's sad😢

These turned out great. Of course, my favorite was the tallest one. Adding the plastic containers was a smart idea. Thanks for posting!

Alli is amazing‼️ She has been doing these "rental hacks" before many others & her work is beautiful❣️✌🏻

@teresaneal6521 Год назад

You can use a damp paper towel to put your paint on. It gives it texture and definition.

Great project! Love the final look! Thanks for the tips!!

@FIZZGIG-RARF Год назад

Man, there seems to be a lot of hate on these. I think they look great! I have that specific joint compound and it does reconstitute, but I've been messing around with sealants. It seems like covering it with either polycrylic or polyurethane keeps the moisture out. My planters that I want to do are porous so I am hesitant to use it on them. I think you did a wonderful job, though!

@FourJaysFour 2 года назад

Would love to see how the pots held up to the weather at the end of Summer

@ActuallyAlli 2 года назад

Mine are under my covered patio, so I predict they'll hold up well! But if anything does happen, I will be sure to make a post

@mattypants Год назад

Given the material used, I'd guess some if not all the material cracks and falls off

@mouthofthesouth4267 11 месяцев назад

@@mattypantswhy do you have to be negative? I mean if you have a solution to maybe advise her as to a better way to do it then that'd be a lot better than just plain "betting" on her idea to fail? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😞

@coconutgirl816 Год назад

Those turned out great! To take up space in larger planters I use empty sods cans or plastic milk/ juice/ water containers, old nursery pots, or pool noodles.

You need to put some weight on the bottom of the planters to avoid topping over when windy.

There are plenty of spray paints with texture that looks like stone and are made for use outdoors that will not only last longer, but achieves the same look much more easily.......😮.....less expensive, too....

@bambam5265 Год назад

Where did you get the plastic planters?

@ogiejii7885 Год назад

Joint compound will absorb water, reconstitute and fall apart, not a great idea for something that gets wet. Maybe investing in mortar mix would be wise.

@lbrowning2543 Год назад

Unless it’s painted and gets a coat of clear acrylic like these did. The advantage is this is lighter weight than mortar or concrete if you need to move them.

@charlottecobain6986 Год назад

@@lbrowning2543I’m sure that will work out well in the long term 🙄 No one who knows anything about basic construction materials and their properties would advise this combo of ‘ingredients’ for an outdoor application. This might look ‘good’ to some people but like all these ‘aesthetic’ instagram/social media hacks/diy’s, it’s not done in a way that makes sense or has much forethought to lasting or true functionality. Go for it, though. I’m sure it’ll fall off the moment it gets bumped or slid across the driveway and won’t last longer than a season or two. Way more wasteful than anything else.

@antoinettedewall1191 Год назад

I was also wondering why just outdoor paint was not used. I am not a fan of indoor/outdoor paint. I believe you need to purchase one or the other. One year I sprayed painted a could of planters (not outdoor paint) and then I was concerned about the paint peeling off and harming my plants. I treat all my garden plants as my babies LOL so right now I am a little skeptical in painting pots for plants.

@teresaneal6521 Год назад

They will do fine if you paint and seal them.

@charlottecobain6986 Год назад

@@teresaneal6521 You do you 🤗 as someone who has A LOT of experience with joint compound I remain steadfast in my opinion that it will not hold up and is a waste of time and materials. People who may read here can make up their own minds and assess the pros and cons. IF someone does decide to do this, they should at very least use epoxy paint to give it the best chance.

@ealdwairi74 Год назад

Do they stand weather? If I leave them outdoor!

@pearlperlitavenegas2023 Год назад

Hi how are they holding up?

@penelopebranson3621 2 месяца назад

My problem is finding the large plastic planters- even at HD they now cost 60 dollars and up for the larger ones. They’re plastic for Pete’s sake! These are lovely…. I’m getting a tree in a plastic planter soon so I’ll use that. Thanks!

@williamtam6267 Год назад

Joint compound will wash it away in rain you need sealer if out in exposed sun and rain.

@krizm 2 месяца назад

joint compound will definitely start falling apart outdoors and better off using chalk paint for rustic look instead of latex which tends to peel off

@elkhalilmadani5889 Год назад

In my country the cost of making these planters is 3 dollars max.

@krissifaith6709 Год назад

Why would you leave the pant in the plastic planter???

@franternes2590 Год назад

Why not rub the 3rd and 4th coats on with a rag to avoid brush strokes? Also the top rims look way too thin to be concrete, need heftier pots.

@emmsue1053 Год назад

Look really nice, but your plants will be far happier & will last several seasons if they are out of their original pot!

@diveparis Год назад

nice idea, but the joint compound won't hold up if it gets wet or any moisture. Should keep these indoors.

@lbrowning2543 Год назад

That’s what the paint and clear coat are for.

@margueritequintana1772 Месяц назад

You can use those pots to form SEVERAL real concrete pots before you retire them as planters. Just sayìng...😊

@Buildingenjoyment 6 месяцев назад

Please don’t use drywall mud outdoors. This is really bad advice. There are so many incredibly functional cement products for this type of application. You would be better off just using the latex paint!

@charlottecobain6986 Год назад

With all due respect, this is a dumb idea unless you were going to use these exclusively indoors with artificial plants. Regardless of how much paint you mixed in and coated on after, the joint compound will fail and isn’t meant for exposure to water. Things are only as strong as the adhesion on the base layer. Plastic is notorious for paint not sticking to it as it were. Ultimately these types of projects end up being more wasteful than purposeful due to how short their lifespan is, if it even works in the immediate short term.
