What can I use to hold and elevate my indoor plants?

I’m looking for a plant stand or something I can make to put on top of my kitchen island to hold my plants a little bit higher up so their leaves aren’t taking up the space of the island table. I can prune and such and I can put them on the floor in the corner of my kitchen but then my almost 2 year old will get into the plants and I don’t want that to occur. Any ideas?
Lisa: there are a number of options on this page:

You could make or buy some macramé plant hangers or do simple pots with rope or chains.

Maybe you can place them on cake stands or tiered trays?
Try using metal coffee cans that you've covered with a heavy paper or cloth. That should take them high enough and be very very simple.
How about a window shelf like this

Hi Lisa - What about some different sized cake stands that match the decor of your kitchen? That could help to elevate them in a super cute way. Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly
I would make a risers .. They are super easy to make. Couple of pictures frames from Dollar Tree will do for sure a trick
Here's a removable shelf from another Hometalker

You could elevate them using a cake dish!
