I turned an old tool box into a planter. What do I use to elevate it off the ground a bit so water can drain from it?

Wooden balls from craft store , wood blocks, a few pieces leftover pvc pipe

A couple of old logs, rocks, an old metal frame of some kind that you might find at a junk shop, a wooden box. Those are some ideas I thought of.

Blocks of wood , weld little legs at hardwear but rather stong

  Thanks for the reply Janet. I was thinking more along the lines of 4 legs or feet. I'd like it to be at least 6 to 10 inches off the ground, but not on a tall stand. I'm trying to reuse old things and repurpose them. Some sort of metal legs or feet off of something. When I finish my project I'll post it. I might have to consider the cinder block idea. I could always paint them to contrast with planter. Thanks again 😀
