The 80’s trend with bright colors, geometric shapes and crazy prints. A 90’s pop and tribal grunge trend are both so hot on the scene.
Today I wanted to share the coolest project; DIY Triangle Planters. These planters have a fun 80s vibe to them. Make your own with Makers Mix DIY Concrete, paints from Deco Art and fill with plants or tealights!
Step OneMeasure a 4 inch triangle shape in the center of a piece of cardboard. At each triangle side measure a 4 by 4 inch box shape. This will form a “Y” type shape. (See Photos)Step TwoFold up all the sides of the box, tape the whole box together using duck tape. (Leaving an opening to pour the concrete)Step ThreeGrease the handmade mold and the outside of the shot glass with some cooking spray or brush some oil into it.Step FourMix 1 cup of Makers Mix with 5 1/2 Tablespoons of water in a medium sized plastic bowl, until well blended. It should be the consistency of brownie batter. Step FiveFill the mold with the concrete a little more then half way. Tap the mold a few times on the table to loosen any air bubbles. Step SixPress the greased shot glass halfway into the center of the concrete and let set for at least 30 minutes. If you have any extra concrete left over fill the remainder into another mold so you don’t waste it. Let all pieces completely dry for 12 hours, preferably 24 hours before painting.Step SevenOnce the concrete is dry, remove from the mold. Start drawing a bunch of rectangle shapes onto one corner of the concrete. Paint the shapes with different acrylic paints.Fill your triangle holders with tealights, small succulents, or cacti.Some ideas:
Create a bunch of these for party tables.
Add polka dots to them, gold leafing, the choice is yours.
Here is a quick video for you to see how easy it is to make these.
