If you love concrete garden planter, you may want to try this with 5 liter plastic bottle, wire and cement as basic supplies. Cut one side of the plastic bottle and remove it. Fill the bottle with sand to prepare it for building the swan shape. Introduce a thick wire into the bottle, through its cap. Fix it into the sand then try to shape it in the form of a swan’s neck. Cover bottle with plaster and add two rectangular metal grates on the sides for wing bases. Cover the complete figure with plaster, modeling.
