Planters can be expensive, especially big ones! Thats why I decided to make my own (you could make about 25 of these for the price of one from the store)!! These concrete planters are super affordable and I love the way they look.

I decided to use 10” sonotubes for the insides of my planters, which you can get from home depot and then you can just cut them and pull them out.
And then I put tuck tape on one end so concrete couldn’t come through. You could also bring the tape up the sides to make it easier to pull out since the paper will stick to the concrete.
I used quickcrete which you can get for 4 buck from home depot and then all you have to do is add water. Make sure you wear a mask for this part since the power is very bad for your lungs.
Mix it until it is the consistency of oatmeal, then pour some in the bottom of the bucket, place the sonotube in, tape down, and fill up around the edges.
Give it a good shake to prevent pinholes and then let it dry.
I cut the sonotube and then pulled out the top half.
Then I pulled out the planter and pealed out the rest of the sonotube.
I just left the remains of the paper since you wouldn’t see it once the planter was filled.
To finish it, I sanded the top with a 120 grit sanding pad.
