Recycled Glass Bottle Terrazzo Concrete Planter – DIY Backyard Build

This DIY terrazzo concrete planter is built from smashed colored glass bottles mixed directly into white cement, then molded using two household buckets. No store-bought molds are needed. The cured planter is dense with cobalt-blue, emerald-green, and amber glass shards visible across every surface. After demolding, a drain hole is drilled and the inner insert removed to create a fully functional deep planter. Indoors, sunlight passing through the glass shards casts vivid colored light patterns onto the floor below — a striking effect for any living space or garden. A practical and satisfying build using entirely recycled materials. Watch to the end for the full reveal.
