Hi my friends, how are you?. Are you all doing well?. Yes, I am doing well too. So today SLC-S26/W1 is another wonderful week with a wonderful competition. Today we have this challenging competition that has given us the opportunity to prepare a cement pot. Today, this opportunity is very valuable, so I will take advantage of this opportunity. So today I came here to prepare a cement pot and plant a flower in it. Even though preparing a cement pot is a challenge, I love to take advantage of that challenge. So today I will prepare a very beautiful flower vase from cement and paint it beautifully. Okay, I will not waste much time and start my participation. So before that, I would like to thank you very much @sualeha for organizing this challenging competition.

Today I am making a beautiful flower pot out of cement. For that, I am using some very special ingredients. And I am ready to show you those ingredients one by one. So here are the ingredients I used for my cement flower pot.

🔘 Step 01

• First, I took a mold of the desired shape for the cement container. So I added some tape around the plastic mold. Since cement will be added to the mold, it is very important to add some tape around it.

🔘 Step 02

• Then I prepared the mold like this. Now I added oil like this in the middle of the inside of the mold. I will add cement to that inside and add cement to remove the mold properly.

🔘 Step 03

• Now I will prepare the cement mixture. For that, I used a separate container and added cement to that container, adding the required amount of sand to it and mixing it well.

🔘 Step 04

• Then I add the required amount of water to the cement mixture. While adding water to it, I mixed it well until it became a mixture like this.

🔘 Step 05

• Now I'm ready to make the mold for the cement pot. So I added the cement mixture to the plastic I had previously prepared with sellotape. When it was about half full, I placed a plastic cup in the middle, placed some rocks on top of it as a weight, and added the remaining cement mixture on top like this.

🔘 Step 06

• Then I let the cement pot I had prepared dry for about 24 hours and removed it from the mold. It is very important to remove it after it has dried well.

🔴 First, I took the prepared cement pot. I added white paint to the entire cement pot. This is how I added paint to the pot.

🔴 Then I used red to get the look of the pot. So I colored all the lines in red on the column parts like this.

🔴 After painting the cement pot red, I decided to draw some flower parts on it to make it more beautiful. So, I again used white paint and drew some flower parts on the top of the pot in white like this.

🔴 Then I was ready to draw some leaves on one side of the flower parts I had drawn. While drawing those leaf parts, I used green color to draw some leaves around it. In this way, I finished drawing the cement pot.

Here is the final look of the cement pot I made. So I was able to make this cement flower pot very beautiful. I used a very beautiful flower plant for this. So to take advantage of the cement flower pot I made, I planted a flower plant from my garden in this cement pot. So here is the final result of my cement pot.

I made a very beautiful flower pot and I want to take a selfie with it. So I thought I would submit a selfie with my creation for this presentation. So here is my selfie.

I am ready to present the prices of the raw materials that I spent on making this cement pot below. Also, since the raw materials such as water, sand, and oil are raw materials that I have at home, I will not present the value of those raw materials. So I will present this list to you clearly. So here are the prices that I spent on making the cement pot that I prepared.

Yes, I actually had some problems while painting this cement pot. Because I didn't have any paint in my house to paint this cement pot. But I couldn't find the paint that can be used to paint cement, so I searched in every shop in my town. But I couldn't find the paint that can be used to paint cement. But a friend of mine told me that there is a shop a little far away that definitely has paint in that shop. So I couldn't go to that shop because I don't have a bike. But I wanted to join this challenge today. So I went to that shop on foot. But my effort was successful. Because I was able to find that paint. So today I took advantage of my effort despite all the problems.

I actually had a very special difficulty in doing this work. That was when I prepared this flower pot and left it to dry, my dog knocked over the pot. So I felt very sad because I had worked so hard to prepare this flower pot, so it was a big sadness for me. Because when it was still a few hours to dry, my dog had knocked over the pot. So I started preparing the pot again. But I did not give up my efforts. I am very happy to think that I overcame this challenge today despite many difficulties.

Yes, I think that making this out of clay can be successfully completed. But there is a problem in preserving it and it will be a problem when it is wet with water. So I think making this out of cement can be kept for a long time. So it is very important to use the raw materials carefully in these designs as it is stress-free. Actually, clay and other raw materials can be used in this design. Also, using other materials for this will not allow us to create the desired design.

This is my participation in this wonderful competition. I hope you all like this cement pot that I made. It didn't take me much time to prepare this cement pot. Especially after preparing this cement pot, I only spent time to let it dry. So since I used my wonderful steps, preparing this cement pot was very easy. I think you will also prepare this cement pot easily with my steps. Also, after preparing this cement pot, I was very happy to see the final result. Because this is my first experience of preparing a cement pot like this. So today I participated in this challenge with great pleasure. Well, let's meet again in such a wonderful competition. God bless you all.

I invite my friends @uzma4882, @zulay7059, @sailawana to participate in this contest
