Fun DIY Plant Stands To Add More Decoration to Your Home 1. Copper and Concrete Plant Stand
Copper and concrete come together in this project featured on Camillestyles. Assuming you want to make a set of three planters similar to those in the images, you’ll need three buckets, copper pipes, and tube caps, concrete mix, glue, tape, and a cup. The planters are customizable so you can decide the exact dimensions and even the shape you want to give them.
2. DIY Wire Plant Stand
For the project on Themerrythought you’d first have to find a lampshade that has wires connecting the top and bottom. This is the most difficult part, everything else being extremely simple. In addition to this particular lampshade you’ll also need wire cutters and some spray paint in case you want to change the planter’s color.
3. Marble and Copper Plant Stands
Simplicity also defines the chic planters we found on ajoyfulriot. The materials needed for this project include copper pipes, a pipe cutter, marble tiles and very strong glue. The first step is to figure out how high you want the planter to stand and to cut the pipes to size. Then start building the frame and glue the marble tile to it.
4. A Wooden Planter Stand
A wooden planter stand can be just the thing you need to make your beautiful plants stand out in an elegant and a simple way. To build the planter, you’ll need a cedar plank for the legs and one for the base as well as some outdoor stain, a sander, a saw and wood glue. After you cut the pieces for the legs, round them and sand them. Cut holes in their sides so you can then add the x-shaped base. Put all these elements together and use glue to keep them secure. Then stain the stand.{found on remodelaholic}.
5. Create a Plant Stool From a Piano Stool
Another option when creating a plant stand can be to repurpose things you already have in your home such as for example, a piano stool. You can pretty much just take the stool, find a good spot for it and put a planter on top. Of course, you can first give it a makeover and maybe paint it. {found on nur-noch}.

30. Quick and Easy DIY Plant Stand
Here’s another iteration of a tall and narrow plant stand, this time with an x-shape base and a symmetrical structure. It’s 22’’ tall in total, including the extended boards that frame the pot. It’s not a difficult project but it does require a scroll or band saw and a nail gun. Additionally, you’ll also need wood glue, 4 pieces of 1×2 lumber cut to 22.25’’, and 4 pieces cut to 10’’. The stand featured on thestonybrookhouse has a flat black finish but, as always, this part of the project is very customizable.
