Houseplants are a terrific addition to any home, but how to display them? While oversized pots look great on the floor, smaller containers can clutter up tables or shelves. Plant stands are the solution, and this DIY project ticks all the boxes. It’s super simple, budget-friendly, lightweight and can be adapted to suit your pots.
EASY STEPS TO YOUR PLANT STAND
Gather your supplies
• 42 x 42mm x 2.4m dressed pine
• Furniture wax
You’ll also need
Mitre saw; clamps; drill; 10mm and long 4mm drill bits; PVA glue; 75mm screws; rag; timber filler; random orbital sander; lint-free cloth
Here’s how
STEP 1 Use a mitre saw to cut pine into four 1.2m long legs, and eight 30cm long rails.
STEP 2 On a timber offcut, make a jig to drill holes. Make 2 horizontal holes 20mm from end and 20mm apart, and 2 vertical holes 10mm from end and 20mm apart. Drill holes with a 10mm bit.
