How to make outdoor colors vases

The decoration of the yard, garden or cottage is a fascinating and long-term business, and still requiring decent material costs. To save money, many things for garden decorating / plot can be made with their own hands. This time it will be discussed about how to make outdoor colors vases. Let us consider in detail the manufacturing process of two materials - wood and concrete. These are the most plastic and inexpensive materials from which you can make very good things.

The abundance of flowers will decorate any landscape or house

Wooden vases

Wood, maybe not the best choice for the manufacture of street vases, but very affordable, plastic, easy to process. Therefore, probably also popular. Wooden outdoor colors vases can be made from cropping boards, moisture resistant plywood, timber, tree trunks, stumps, old barrels and dask.

From boards and plywood

If you want the Vase for a long time to keep your color and I did not sit down, but you don't want to paint it some shelled paint (such as oil), it will be necessary to buy oil for wood. It gives wood shade, but leaves visible pores (according to the type of veil). Along the way, this oil, as it were, "preserves" it, protects against fungi, insects, mold.

The easiest way to make floral vases from a rectangular or square-shaped boards. It is necessary to cut a few pieces of the same long, to put the drawer from them, to nourish the bottom.

Wooden colors for flowers from boards

So that the bottom of this vase does not bloom, it must be lifted on the legs. In the simplest variant to the bottom, in the corners, you can kill four small pieces of blackboard. There is a desire - you can try to make more decorative legs (as in the photo above).

Ringing boards, do not try to shoot down the planks very tight. When watering, they will swell and, if they come closely, they can raise. However, and very large gaps should not be left - the earth through the bottom may wake up.

Another way to make the street flower vase from the tree - cut off the four identical segments of a small cross section of 25-25 mm, for example). Use bars as ribs design, to nourish the boards, to attach the bottom from below. This option is good because such vases immediately have legs.

The second version of the manufacture of wooden colors

In the same way, a vase from moisture-resistant plywood can be made. Cut the sidewalks from it, attach them to the bars. Instead of nails typically use vehicle tapping screws, and you will need a drill. Before tightening the self-tapping screw, drilled hole. Apply the sidewall to the rack from the bar, drill, retreating 1 cm from the edge. The diameter of the drill is 1-2 mm less than the diameter of the self-press. So, firstly the bar does not burst, secondly, the fastener is easier in Phanera. Instead of wooden corners, you can take metal, better - from stainless steel.

The following variant of the flower vase is made of wooden bar (photo below). It's still easier - the timber is folded so that the compound is in the same plane, then in the other. After laying each bar, it is nailed to the below. Nails will definitely drive in the corners, on the long side you can also nourish one or twice.

Street Flower Vase Brous

Everything is simple. Difficulties may occur only with the first next. It can be fixed to some bottom, for example, shot down from boards, a piece of waterproof plywood with drilled holes in it.

Color Vasons Combined with a bench

Any of these vases can be combined with a bench. It turns out a wonderful corner for recreation. Such a group can be put in the garden, near the entrance, somewhere on the plot, near the arbor or homemade small fountain.

From stumps and logs

In the garden or in the summer cottage, it is necessary to periodically pump old trees. From their stumps and trunks, you can also make outdoor colors vases. First, let's talk about how to use trunks. Burra is better not to rip off, so the view from the vases will be more decorative. Depending on the idea, the trunks are cut into some kind of height scrabbacies. You can cut the usual manual saw, but faster - chainsaw. These chumbas can stand standing, you can lay on the side.

From segments of tree trunks, excellent decorative outdoor colors vases are obtained.

The main task is to remove part of the wood so that the container is formed, which can fill the earth. There are several core removal methods. Typically take a drill and a drill of a large diameter. Better drill a conical form or in the form of a blade (as in the photo).

Such a drill is easier to remove the core

Do how many holes on the depth you need to. It depends on the type of plants that plan to put in this vase, but usually 15-20 cm. Holes can be done much - the thinner there will be the walls, the easier to remove them.

The walls are destroyed by a bit or a wide chisel. According to the handle of these instruments, the hammer is knocking, and the sharp blade chips pieces. So, gradually, the core is released. Then the edges of the resulting container are slightly aligned using the same technique.

Alternative to drill

If the stump has a large diameter, you can use an ax or pickle. Only work should be careful not to destroy the walls. Near the walls, you can use the drill, finally arrange the inner part of the vason all the same chisel.

Another option - making some balls with an ax, recking wood, dilute inside the bonfire. But will it work in time - the question. Charming insides are then removed by the chisel or chisel.

Vases for flowers from stumps and trunks of trees can be of different sizes

By the way, very interesting compositions may turn out from a very old and drunk deck. It is cleared of very crumbling wood. In this case, the inside is very easy in this case - the inner part of the trunk elapses the first. What remains can be covered with oil for wood, suspending the destruction for some period.

Very interesting compositions are obtained from the drummer deck.

Of these wounded decks or stumps, excellent colors vases are obtained. Some ideas are collected in the photo gallery.

From barrels and other cooled products

The easiest thing is the street vases for flowers to make out old barrels, risks and other tanks that are no longer used and cannot be used because of old age, but it's a pity to throw them out. They can be slightly treated with emery paper - manually or having an appropriate nozzle on a drill / grinder. Then you can paint them, cover with varnish for exterior works or wood for wood. And you can plant plants.

Barrels shed along

Barrels are cut, and in any plane. But if you cut along, you will have to pin a plate with each other. Cut across the barrels are two identical (or almost) vasons.

Option of self-made vase for flowers similar to barrel

Even old wood can not be processed. So the composition looks more naturally. But not in all styles such a vase will fit. In this case, use special paint for outdoor work, which you can work on a tree.

With the tubs or halves of the barrels, everything is generally just

If you look externally, you like the wood, but I want to have a hermetic capacity to avoid the flops on the site after watering, you can crack the plastic container with wooden planks. Planks are processed by antiseptics, color, dried. Then you can proceed to the transformation of plastic containers (buckets, tanks, barrels) in the flower vase for street colors.

Fresh legs to the bottom of the tank

First, openings are drilled in the bottom. From diameter - 10-14 mm. Two opposite zones at the edges, leave intact. Here I will attach the "legs" - two planks, cropped so that they do not protrude for the contour of the barrel. You can attach to the bolts, drill a hole under the head so that the fastener was "drowning".

Plug plastic barrels

We take universal glue, which is suitable for gluing plastic and wood, and glue the planks on it. The already the bar, the more monolithic it turns out the surface. Such street vases for flowers do not sneeze and do not swell.

Homemade concrete floral vases

Concrete is good because it can be pouring into any form. Plastic, glass, metal, wooden, clay vessels and even cardboard boxes are suitable.

Street vases for flowers from concrete Easy to make it yourself

It is most convenient to work with plastic - from it to remove it easily. Even easier with glass, but such forms are usually disposable. It did not work out - they are broken.

What concrete use

For the manufacture of street vases, it is possible to use a conventional concrete consisting of cement and sand in a ratio of 1: 3/4 (portland cement of the brand is not lower than M 400 and river clean sacred sand). The surface of such a vase will be monophonic, gray. In some cases it looks stylish, and the gray color does not distract attention from the main one - from the colors. But but not always.

It is more interesting to look for products from decorative concrete. It is also called artistic, art, architectural, acrylic, polymer - concrete. All this is the designation of the same product. In architectural concrete, in addition to cement and sand, contain polymer additives, small fragments of natural minerals, there are dyes in some. The surface of the vase from decorative concrete is obtained smoother, interesting, with splashes of natural stones. A specific view depends on the selected composition. Some species of decorative concrete are presented in the photo below.

What makes forms to fill a concrete vase

Any forms can be used from almost any material. It is important that it does not spilt and kept the form within 4-5 hours. Then concrete grabbed and already keeps himself. Therefore, they make forms, even from a dense packaging cardboard, skinning coal and tightening the belts "from Scotch. But from the caron you can make forms only for small vases - for a small group of plants. But the form can be any.

Form for the manufacture of concrete vase do it yourself

Actually, the forms should be two - one for the formation of the outer surface, the second - much smaller size is inserted inside the first and forms the zone into which the soil is embanked and plants are saturated. The inner form is selected based on the dimensions of the planned vase, but the wall thickness should not be less than 3 cm.

Concrete colors for flowers from plastic forms

You can use plastic bowls, glasses, containers, trays, flasks from the water - large and small. You can shoot down the shape of the boards, plywood, pieces of another sheet material. It does not matter. All anything, everything that will come to use.

Use any capacity for the manufacture of a vase from concrete

Is there an interesting basic form or bowl? Also suitable. And to form an internal volume, you can find something heavy, preferably the right form, but it is absolutely not fundamentally. Even a bowling ball is suitable. It is good because heavy and smooth glands - remove it can be easily.

Metal bowl and bowling ball - It turns out a great floral vase

Round vases look best, but finding suitable form is not easy. It is usually or plastic containers or glass balls that are cut / broken after grapping concrete.

Manufacturing process

You can only work with cement at temperatures above +5 ° C. Ideal conditions are + 20 ° C and high humidity, but the temperature is more important. The place where you will leave the concrete to "ripening" must be in the shade.

Suitable forms you found, cement was stirred. It should not be too liquid, not too thick. From a spatula or blades should not flock, but not so dry so that you can make something from it.

It is necessary to work in gloves - concrete corrosive hands very quickly. We need a blade or something similar to lad out a solution, a long thin wand or a metal rod to remove air. It will still be necessary or a large container with water or a piece of plastic film.

The form is inventy yourself

We take shape, process them with some kind of lubricant. This is necessary in order to remove the vase from the form easily. You can use the following drugs:

Antiprigar spray for cooking. Hireless and effective.
Special sprays for concrete. It is much more expensive, and efficiency is the same.
Motor oil.
Universal lubricant VD-40.

Maybe other formulations work, but these are checked.

One of the compositions process forms. Large - inside, small - outside. In a large form, we pour a layer with a layer of 3-4 cm to the bottom, align it. It will be the bottom. If you want to be in the bottom of the drainage holes, insert the segments of the tubes. You can use metal, cut them into pieces of 3-4 cm long, also from the outside to be treated with lubrication. In this case, the bottom thickness must be equal to the height of these tubes. And have them strictly under the bottom of the second form.

How to make your own hands Flower Street Vase from concrete

We put the second form on the solution. If it is light, fall asleep in her small stones, crushed stone, pebbles, sand. The gaps between the two walls fill with the solution. If the material allows, along the walls knocking the hammer, then we take a rod or a thin stick, pushing the solution to the bottom, we strip it from side to the side. With these actions - knocks and skewers - air bubbles come out of concrete, it settles a little down. This procedure can be repeated a couple of times. Then we take some kind of smooth item (a spoon, for example), splashing it with lubricant and align the top of the wall. Try to make a side as soon as possible - then it's hard to do something with it.

The shape is covered with concrete with a piece of polyethylene and leave no less than a day. A day later, the form can be removed, but it is still impossible to use the vasion. It can be omitted into the container with water and leave there for a week. Another option is to cover the film and three or four times a day to spray with water. Sprinkle abundantly to full darkening. Each time you do not forget to cover the film. After about 10-14 days, it is possible to start planting plants. That's all, now concrete street vases for flowers you can do it yourself.

Finishing concrete vase

If you do not like the surface of the vase, it can be decorated. Do not make the Vazon too bright. He is only background, for flowers and greenery, which will fall into it. There are traditional methods - painting, there are more exotic - finishing with mosaic, pieces of a bit of ceramic tiles or pebbles.

When painting, choose the paint that is suitable for concrete, the surface is pre-primer (so that the paint is better to keep and not cooked with flakes).

For finishing with tiles or pebbles to the surface, layer layer for tile (for external work) with a thickness of 5-6 mm, and it is pressed by pebbles. It is necessary to work carefully, inheritance to erase the traces of glue on pebbles - it is then not cleaned.

Basons for colors made of concrete decorated with colored pebbles

The finished vase is left to dry to the drying of the glue (time is indicated on the package). Then the seams can be posed using a standard tile grout. It is uncomfortable, too narrow the gaps between the pebbles are obtained. You can try to use thin plastic strips or narrow tile boxes.

Vases from construction concrete blocks

For plant landing, hollow concrete blocks with large cells are suitable. In the cells poured ground, flowers planted. Lay out such blocks you can have a whole wall. The recipe is simple, but very spectacular.
