    I wouldn't think so, but not sure it would be waterproof enough to actually hold water in it for any length of time.

      Ooh, I think I'll be having a go at this. Cheapo king size bottom sheet for the dip material would make quite a sizeable planter!

              I just wonder how tough they will be.
              And the lack of sun to harden them off:heehee:

              Well I am not sure, but I am going to try a very thick batter of cement and moss.. I think they are more decorative than long lasting but I a defo going to try it..!
              To be honest as long as they are put in a dry place and left long enough they should harden OK according to the site I was reading.. :thumbsup:
              Now I just have to find the time to make a big mess..!!! :loll:
