CREATE THIS EASY MODERN PLANTER STAND COMPLETELY OUT OF SCRAP WOOD!Well if you are a scrap wood love like I am then this project is for you. I teamed up with a bunch of my talented friends on Instagram to make a project out of scrap wood, & y'all I got scrappy 😉 I have been desperately wanting a modern plant stand of my own but they are crazy expensive! So I decided to give a DIY version a go.


DIY Modern Planter Stand


Supplies:



Cutting Your Pieces


  1. Start by deciding how tall you want your stand to be, mine is about 7in tall because that's how tall my scrap wood pieces were. Cut (4) legs to your desired height & (2) pieces to your desired width. Mine ended up being 4in pieces.


Attach One Leg


2. Next, I attached one of my 4in pieces to one 7in leg using Gorilla Glue & a clamp. I put this piece 2in from the bottom of the leg piece. Once it was clamped it was easy to use my nail gun to shoot in two small nails from the outside.

Attach The Other Leg


3. Once the first leg is attached its time to add another leg on the other side using the same method.

Attach Small Middle Pieces


4. Now that we have both legs attached its time to add our second smaller middle piece. To get the size for this second middle piece I just held it up to the other middle piece & marked the thickness with a pencil on each side & cut my two pieces. Sure you could have just done some math but this was the easy way & I like easy. Attach them to the other middle piece using glue & angled nails,

Making Sure Your Stand Is Level


5. Once the middle pieces are attached its time to add the last 2 legs the same way. Use a level when attaching each leg to make sure the stand doesn't end up all wobbly.

Paint or Stain


6. Finally, its time to paint! You can paint or stain the stand any color you want but I wanted it the same flat black color as the large outside planters boxes I just made.

Ta Da


How cute is this little scrap wood planter stand y'all? I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. It fits my little faux plant perfectly & adds a little life to my decor! Let me know what you think & if you are team faux plants or real deal.
