What you will need
Plastic mixing bowl
Quick set cement - we got ours from Homebase
Empty yoghurt pot
Fine sandpaper
Masking tape
Tester pot of paint in your choice of colour - we've used Jelly Bean from Wilkos
Paint brush
What to do
Grease the bowl with cooking oil
Mix up the cement following the instructions on the packet, making sure it's smooth and lump free
Put the bowl on a level surface and pour in just enough cement to cover the bottom of the mixing bowl
Place the yoghurt pot in the centre to create a hole for planting and fill the gap around the sides with the remaining cement
Leave the cement to set overnight
Once dry, remove the plastic bowl and pull out the yoghurt pot
Then sand off any rough edges
Using masking tape create a geometric shape of triangles
Paint the unmasked areas and leave to dry
Once dry, gently peel off the tape
Now you're ready to add the plant of your choice to the hole to create a beautiful table centrepiece for both inside and out, or a lovely gift!
