You’re also getting a better price on most of your supplies than I am – I’ll have to sniff out better deals! For all the items I created in one day of work (includes two large pots and numerous stepping stones – click on my name to see the objects)- the cost would be calculated as follows (in Canadian Dollars):
1/3 bag of Portland Cement – $4 (12/3)
1 bag of Peat Moss – $3
1/3 Sand – ~$2 (6/3)
Perlite and/or Vermiculite – ~$5
1/5 bag of Dollarstore shiny stones – 20 cents
1/10 bag (2 cups) of fibre strands = ~$1 (10/10)
numerous molds from secondhand stores – undetermined (will be re-used)
Total Cost – ~$15
7 hours of creative mud-pie play – PRICELESS

My items are still curing but so far I’m not convinced they will very durable…we’ll see. Sue

lol… being thrifty I wait until everything is on sale or pick it up at the auction, so the peat moss and perlite usually end up costing about $1 for both and will make several pots. The main cost is the portland cement and again I try to buy off season or will accept a ripped bag is the cost is reduced. So I figure the cost of the cement plus $1 and see how many pots I get.

I would say, overall the pots would range from $1.50 to $3.00. And they will last a long time.

Add seashells, pebbles or color and you add instant art and decor the the yard. Or moss!

And another cute idea is adding mini pockets for plants. Cacti work well or rockcress. Denise
