This video provides a step-by-step tutorial on how to create a rustic head-shaped planter using a mannequin head, alginate for molding, and mortar for the final structure. The creator demonstrates the entire process from creating the mold to waterproofing the piece and planting a bonsai, showcasing the long-term result of the project.
There are websites that sell mannequin heads and bodies too, right?
I found this one here, so I'll use it.
I took a handle from a plastic cup and glued it with instant glue right on top of my head.
to help me, to support me when I go through the process of detoxification.
This product is called Alginate. It's a material dentists use to take tooth impressions. Okay?
In the comments, I'll leave a pinned link where you can find this product in the shop.
I put 3 liters of water into a container.
I put my mannequin inside to check whether everything would work out regarding the water volume.
I poured that amount of water into another container, gradually adding the powder while stirring with the mixer.
You can also stir it using a spoon, but it needs to be well diluted.
Look how much the quantity dropped there, regarding that 3-liter water.
I put it inside the container, placed the mannequin's head there, and left it for about 8 to 10 minutes.
until that dough became nice and white.
As you keep pressing that dough there, you can feel its firmness, right?
It's not very rigid at all, but it does remind me a bit of an eraser.
Carefully, I messed up the head of my mannequin over there.
I put 1 kg of mortar into the container and gradually poured in water until it formed a cream.
Then I made another amount, okay? I was doing it gradually so I wouldn't waste anything.
I put it inside my mold and gave it light taps to make the bubbles rise.
To make the reverse shape, I took a small pot, wrapped it with plastic, and placed it inside my dough.
I'll give you little pots so that, when they dry, that's where I'll plant them.
This is the lid of a CD case.
I put it there to check if it would fit perfectly around the mannequin's head circumference.
I ran the plastic, put in the same mixture, because I needed a nice solid base to keep my pot upright.
Just a few light taps to center everything there and raise the bubble, right?
I also applied oil there, on the plastic part of the mannequin, inserted it, and waited for it to dry.
I waited for about 40 minutes, and then I just went ahead and undid everything, okay?
I took it out from there, turned the piece over onto a board,
With a knife or a blade, we cut out all that dough there.
It's a stiff mass, so don't worry, right?
At first we feel a bit tense, but it's going to work out just fine.
The goal is to beat the dough well so that it becomes more homogeneous.
I used up about half a small packet of that alginate powder.
I'm repeating this: I'll pin the link here in the first comments, okay?
So that you can purchase at the little shop where I set aside the things I buy.
Considering it was my first play, I really liked the result.
With the screwdriver, I made the four little holes for drainage, okay?
And she stayed like that; I really liked it.
At this moment, you can do all the finishing touches, right?
Just make a paste of cement, glue, and water, and apply it all over him to make it nice and smooth.
I went over there to set up my base, right? So I could hold my vase.
I really liked doing that, it turned out wonderful.
That was a demonstration of how it would fit.
I didn't press too hard, though, because it was still a bit damp, right?
There, inside the vase, it fit perfectly, and you can also finish it there.
And my piece turned out like this—it came out quite rustic, and that's exactly how I wanted it.
I don't want it too smooth, though, but you can finish it the way I told you, okay?
I bought this bonsai, I love it, I thought it was so cute.
I thought it would look beautiful there, like one of his hairs.
You mustn't forget to waterproof the inside of this pot if you're going to plant a real plant, okay?
A small cup of water, 4 tablespoons of white school glue, you mix them.
Then you gradually add about two tablespoons of cement, mixing constantly until it becomes a finely textured cream.
There, you pass 2 or 3 layers inside the vessel, and it will be waterproofed.
This is a homemade recipe, but there's also ready-made cement waterproofing available—okay?
This piece of mine is 9 years old, and I'm going to show you a photo of how it looks today.
I thought it was incredibly cool to have placed those mosses on her and then opened up the skull, right?
That plant over there does that.
Everyone who comes here thinks this piece is beautiful, and I love it so much.
That's it, my loves, I hope you enjoyed it.
I took those photos there, fictional now, so you all can get some inspiration to create your own, okay?
A big kiss, may God bless all of you.
