If you're feeling crafty, you can make your own concrete planter box. Making your own concrete planter box is a great way to add a personal touch to your home, and it's not as difficult as you might think.

Materials

To make your own concrete planter box, you'll need a few supplies:

• Concrete mix
• A mould or container
• A trowel
• A paintbrush
• Paint (optional)

Steps

Follow these steps to make your own DIY concrete planter box:

• Begin by mixing your concrete according to the package directions. Next, you'll need a mould or form to pour your concrete into. Several options are available, so you can choose one that best suits your needs.
• Once the concrete is mixed, pour it into your mould or container.
• Use your trowel to smooth the surface, then let the concrete planter box dry for 24 hours.
• Once the concrete planter box is dry, you can remove it from the mould or container. If you're using a mould, you may need to tap the sides of the mould to release the concrete planter box. 
• If you're using a container, you can turn it upside down to release the concrete planter box. If you're using a mould or form with intricate details, you may need to use a utility knife to help remove the concrete. 
• Once it's out, take a look at your handiwork and admire your new concrete planter box!
• Once the concrete planter box is released, you can sand down any rough edges.
• If you want to add some colour to your concrete planter box, you can paint it with acrylic paint. Once the paint is dry, you can add your plants.
