  1. Now I’m curious as to how it went and how the planters turned out! Don’t leave us hanging! I’m sure everything was fine, and your planters turned out wonderfully. 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing!

    1. Our first class is this Friday, and yes, I will definitely let you know how they turn out. We’ll have a total of 3, maybe 4 classes before they’re painted and planted. The kids I’ll be working with are all interested in making, so I think they’ll do great. Hope I did enough research!

  2. You’ll be fine Dorothy and the kids will love you. Concrete planters are a beautiful gift anytime of the year and from experience concrete is pretty forgiving. You can always try find quick setting concrete (about an hour) or use plaster of paris instead. Although then the planter can only be used for faux succulents. Either way I can’t wait to see them.

    1. Thanks for the vote of confidence, Michelle. My DIL and I did a concrete project. We covered huge green leaves with a layer of concrete, and when it was dry, it was supposed to be a fairy-like water bath for birds in our gardens. They were gorgeous, but something went wrong with our mix. Hers broke, I gave mine to my sister, because I would have to be filling the little holding bowl every 5 minutes in summer in our desert, and now she sold her garden, with house, and I’m not sure it survived to be moved. Anyway, I think this will be fun. Kim has made these, so she at least knows a little about it. What did you make with concrete? Did you blog about it?
