Here's my latest draped pot creation. Half bath towel soaked in concrete slurry ( 1 part portland cement and 2 parts play sand) and draped over the bottom of 5 gal pail. Once dried, I removed the pot and slathered on a thicker concrete mixture inside and out. It dried for 3-4 days and soaked for 3-4 days. I blended the colors.......black on the bottom and dark blue on top with some lighter blue highlights on the raised areas. I built it specifically for my 5" diameter yaupon holly. Cost: half an unused bath towel and maybe 50 cents worth of concrete and sand. Most any pot this size would be from $50 - $150.
