Preparation

Main materials

Coarse sand (you can also use the top-dressing stones we usually use, this is a matter of personal preference), a yogurt bottle

Tools needed

White latex glue, 502 glue, tweezers, scissors, acrylic paint

Making steps

Step one

Prepare the materials, get all the tools you will need ready and place them to one side.

Step two

Use scissors to cut the yogurt bottle in half around its middle.

Step three

Poke a small hole in the bottom of the yogurt bottle.

Step four

Use 520 glue to stick river sand onto the wall of the yogurt bottle one grain at a time.

Step five

Wait for the 520 glue to dry, then coat it with white latex glue, and remember to apply it seamlessly over the whole surface.

Step six

Wait for the white latex glue to dry. If it is winter, you can put it on a radiator; if it is summer, you can put it outside to dry in the sun.

Step seven

Coat the whole thing with acrylic paint.

Step eight

Use steel wool or sandpaper to sand out the original color of the stones, and a simple yet out-of-the-ordinary little flower pot is finished!

Step nine

Plant succulents in it, and the little flower pot looks beautiful, not inferior at all to a store-bought flower pot!
