DIY Shell Planter Out of Papercrete, Lightweight Concrete Planters, Clam Shell Cement Plant Pots

In this video I show you how I make a shell shaped planter out of papercrete. I used white Portland cement in this video but you can use regular grey Portland cement. You can also use hypertufa or any cement mixture you prefer.

Do you need to seal these paper Crete pots and decorations, if left outside in the elements? If so , what exactly do you use? Thanks so much.!

Can this planter be left outside? Is it weather resistant?

[@adreanabennett9049]

Could this be used a newborn photography prop?

I have a question can you make this mix and stored it for later use?

[@charsnest147]

No, it will cure and become hard. You need to mix it and use it.

How much paper pulp do you use? Is there a cup measurement or a weight measurement? I was hoping to buy a bag of papier mache and wondered how large a bag I would need. Thanks.

[@charsnest147]

I don't usually measure. I just use parts which gives me ratios for the recipe. 3 parts paper pulp, 2 parts cement, 1 part perlite. This would probably take around 10 cups paper pulp if I had to guess.
