Plant Stand Ideas For Hanging Plants

Are you looking for some creative ways to decorate your indoor and outdoor spaces with plants? Look no further than these DIY plant stand ideas! From sleek and modern designs to rustic and charming options, there is something for everyone in this collection.

First things first, let's talk about our favorite plant stand material: wood. There is just something so classic and timeless about a wooden plant stand, and it really complements the natural beauty of plants. One option is to create a tiered shelf-style stand, like the one pictured above. This allows you to display multiple plants at once and adds a vertical element to the space.

How to Make a Tiered Wooden Plant Stand

To make a tiered wooden plant stand, you will need the following materials:

2 wooden boards (we recommend using a sturdy hardwood like oak or maple)
Measuring tape
Saw
Sandpaper
Wood glue
Clamps

Instructions:

Cut the wooden boards to your desired length. We recommend 36 inches and 24 inches for the two boards.
Sand down any rough edges or surfaces to make them smooth.
Apply a thin layer of wood glue to one end of the shorter board.
Attach the shorter board to the longer board to form an "L" shape. Use clamps to hold the boards together as the glue dries. Make sure the shorter board is centered on the longer board.
Leave the stand to dry overnight.
Repeat steps 3-5 to attach the second tier to the stand, making sure it is centered above the first tier.
Once the second tier is dry, your plant stand is ready to use!

Tips & Tricks:

If you want a more rustic or vintage look, consider using reclaimed or weathered wood for your plant stand.
Make sure your plant stand is level by checking with a spirit level.
If you plan on keeping your plant stand outdoors, be sure to use a waterproof sealant or weather-resistant finish to protect the wood from the elements.

Now that you know how to make one type of plant stand, let's dive into even more creative ideas!

Modern Metal Plant Stands

Another popular material for plant stands is metal. A metal plant stand adds an industrial or modern touch to any space and can be easily customized to fit your decor style. One option is to use copper piping and fittings to make your own unique stand, like the one pictured above. This stand uses simple straight pipes for a clean and sleek look.

How to Make a Copper Pipe Plant Stand

To make a copper pipe plant stand, you will need the following materials:

1/2 inch copper pipes and fittings
Measuring tape
Pipe cutter or hacksaw
Sandpaper
Copper pipe glue
Copper cleaner and polish

Instructions:

Measure and cut your copper pipes to the desired lengths. You will need four pieces for the base, four pieces for the legs, and additional pieces for the top shelf if desired.
Sand down any rough edges or surfaces to make them smooth.
Assemble the pieces into the shape of your plant stand. Use copper pipe glue to secure the joints in place.
Clean and polish the copper with a copper cleaner to give it a shiny finish.
Add your plants to the stand and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks:

For a more unique look, consider using colored or patinaed copper pipes.
Don't be afraid to mix and match metal finishes, like copper and brass, for a more eclectic look.
Use felt pads on the bottom of the legs to protect your floors from scratches.

There are so many possibilities when it comes to DIY plant stands. Whether you prefer a classic wooden design or a modern metallic one, the options are endless. With a little creativity and some basic DIY skills, you can create the perfect plant stand for your indoor or outdoor space. Happy crafting!
