2 Liter soda bottle stand


How I made a 2 litre Bottle Stand

I needed to prevent my 2 litre bottle garden from falling over so I came up with this.

 
 
Step 1:
I cut the bottom off of 11 2 litre bottles.
 
 
Step 2:
I put some sand in a container that was broken. I cut off a piece of plastic from the lid to cover the hole. I then pour some sand into the container
 
 
Step 3:
I then position the bottoms upside down onto the sand.
 
 
Step 4:
I pushed the bottoms into the sand with a twist action. This will prevent the bottoms to move when pouring on the concrete
 
 
Step 5:
I levelled the sand using a paint brush
 
 
 
 
 
Step 6:
I carefully pour the concrete over the bottoms.
 
 
I left it to dry for 3 days
 
Step 7:
I carefully turn the container over to take out the stand and carefully removed the bottoms.
 
 
Now my bottles will be secure and not fall over

Concrete leaf


This is how I created my own Concrete Leaf.

First of all, I needed some leafs and the only leafs I had was that of my Pumpkins



I put a heap of sand on a table and shaped it with my hands



I put the leave onto the sand



I took another leaf and positioned it in the cavity




I made my concrete mixture as normal 1:2:3


1 part Cement


2 parts Sand

3 parts Stone (13 mm)

I then pour it over the leaf. Check that it doesn’t over-run the leaf
After a 24 hour period it was dry and I took it off

 And there you have it….
