However, instead of simply buying the nicest plant pots you can find at your local home decor store, you might want to consider making your own cement and concrete pots using silicone molds.
Concrete is a highly durable material that can easily be decorated with paint, ink, or even fabric work. Purchasing a silicone mold along with some concrete can even work out cheaper than buying the ready-made pots.
In this article, we’re going to be recommending some of our all-time favorite silicone molds for making concrete pots. We also have an FAQ section at the end of the guide to answer all of your questions about using silicone molds for casting concrete pots.
