Salam my friends! I am your own shahidalinaz. Today I am here for taking part in this amazing challenge. I made a beautiful white cement pot. In this post I am going share share my White Cement pot journey. I really worked hard and surely you will appreciate me. So let's know how I made this!

Here is procedure, how I made white cement pot.
👉First step:
I put the White cement on a platter. Then I added water little by little and with the help of a spoon I started mixing the whole cement with the water well. I made a thick mixture of it. Well, it looked pretty creamy. 😜

👉Second step:
Then I took the pots with which I was going to make this white cement pot. I took a five kilogram bucket to make the white cement pot. And I took a five kilogram bucket with the help of which I will maintain the weight in it. I greased both these pots well with oil using cotton.

👉Third Step:
After greasing the bucket, I started pouring the white cement mixture I had made into the five kilogram bucket. After pouring all the mixture into the bucket, I put the dowel inside it to balance it, filled it with water, and then set it aside to dry.

👉Fourth Step:
A few hours later, when I looked, my pot of White cement had dried and was ready. Then I started trying to get it out of the bucket. I had taken the pot out of the yellow bucket well, but I had to work very hard to get the contents of the bucket out that I had kept inside. But when I had completely taken the pot out, I was very happy to see its final look because it was much cleaner and much bigger and more finished.

👉Fifth Step:
After that I started painting it and this time when I started painting it I thought of making some different designs. So I thought of giving this port a lining design, so I made a line of black paint in it, then I made a line of maroon colour, and I left one line white because this port looked very beautiful with these three color combinations. I really liked the final look of my white pot.

I had thought of putting a very nice plant in my beautiful white cement pot, and that plant was a lemon. The lemon tree looks very beautiful, and when I planted my lemon tree in this pot, its beauty increased even more.

◉2 . Share with us what was the difficult step during practical task?

When I was making the white cement pot, the most difficult step for me was smooth finishing. Mixing cement with water was really tricky. If I add more water, the pot become weak and breakable. If I add less, it become too hard and I cannot mold it well. Also I face problem of air bubbles inside. Sometimes small cracks come during drying. I had to tap the mold again and again and wait long time. It test my patience. I feel tired but also learn. That step was most hard, but in the end pot take proper neat shape.

◉3 . Are you satisfied with your final results?

Yes, I am satisfied with my final result of the cement pot. Even the process was not simple, still my pot came strong and fine. The surface look smooth, and edges were shaped good. It gave me a little happiness because I work hard with full care. I also learn how to control mixture and handle time in better way. This practical task give me new confidence in my work. I feel proud because my effort showed in the pot. This is a great achievement and experience. I really feel satisfied.
