DIY flower stand

One of the easiest ways to create a warm and cozy atmosphere in a house is to justify your green corner. Few people in the house have no flowers. They cheer us up, purify the air and revitalize the interior. To save space or create some kind of special composition, many prefer to use flower stands. Such coasters come in two types: floor and wall. They must be durable, otherwise - this whole structure can simply collapse to the floor. You can buy a ready-made thing in a store, or you can make a flower stand with your own hands. Let's consider various options: what can be a flower stand with your own hands, how to implement various ideas for creating such accessories.

Can stand

If you have an unnecessary board and several cans, you can make a beautiful flower stand out of them:

• First you need to process the board. The first thing to do is to degrease it. Then cover with dark acrylic paint. This paint is not toxic, dries quickly and does not have a strong smell.

Important! You can make an imitation of antiquity. To do this, after a layer of dark paint you need to apply a layer of lighter or white paint. When the board dries, we age the surface with a spatula or an iron brush. We apply scratches of different lengths in a chaotic manner.

• We mark with a pencil the places of installation of the cans. Take the pipe mounts and screw them with screws in the right places. Cans are installed on these mounts.
• Now you need to decorate the banks themselves. You can paint them with acrylic paint - in one color or in different, or somehow decorate them with improvised materials in your own way. It all depends on your imagination.
• After painting, fill the ground and plant flowers.
• Now it remains only to fasten the structure to the wall.

Important! This stand is best used for shade-loving plants.

Window sill flower stand

Very often in an apartment the only bright and sunny place is the windowsill. But if there are many colors, then physically there is not enough space for everyone. You can solve this problem with a hanging flower stand.

Important! This design is calculated for a certain number of pots of the same type. Since the structure is suspended, special attention must be paid to the fastening.

Operating procedure:

• First you need to determine the length of each shelf and the number of pots on it. We mark on the boards the location of the pots. To do this, you can turn the pot upside down, then circle it with a pencil. Then we retreat to a certain distance and circle the next one.
• Using a jigsaw, saw out these circles. Edges can be processed with sandpaper.
• We make holes for mounting. At the corners of each board we drill holes with a large diameter. Holes should be at the same distance from each other.
• Now you need to prepare the rope. It should be strong and twisted. It is necessary to form two cuts 2-3 m long.
• We pull one of them through the left holes, the other through the right. This is best done from the bottom up. Under each hole you need to make a knot.
• On the top of the window opening, you need to make mounts for the stand. We drill holes with a drill and fix anchor bolts in them.

Important! The mount must sit securely in concrete so that the entire structure does not fall.

• We paint the finished stand with acrylic paint. It is advisable to coat the top with varnish or other means to protect the wood from moisture.

When everything dries, we hang the stand, plant the flowers in the pots and set the pots in the holes.

Floor stand

You can make a floor stand for flowers with your own hands. It is possible to form it from several pots of different sizes:

1. The largest pot is taken as the base, then several smaller flowerpots will go and the small pot will complete the composition.
2. Pots will be mounted on an iron rod, forming a pyramid.
3. The length of the rod will determine the height of your stand. The rod needs to be picked up thick enough in diameter if you plan to string thick pots on it.
4. In medium pots, openings should be made obliquely.
5. In the largest pot, which is taken as the base, the hole must be made strictly vertically.
6. We fix the fittings in a large pot and then string the remaining pots onto the rod.
7. Flowerpots fill the ground and plant flowers in them.
8. You can arrange such a flower stand in any convenient place.

Important! You can make a decorative option for small pots. Pots should be primed, painted and decorated to your liking.

Mobile stand

If you have large flowers in massive pots in your house that have to be moved, you can make a mobile flower stand with your own hands.

To do this, you need a massive round board and four wheels for furniture:

1. A wooden board immediately needs to be treated with varnish or other water-repellent.
2. From the wrong side of the wooden board, marking up: divide the circle into 4 equal parts by drawing two perpendicular lines through the center.
3. We fix the wheels to the top points.

Important! The wheels must be selected based on the weight of the pot. The larger and heavier the pot, the larger the wheels should be.

We turn the resulting stand and put a pot on it. Now your flower can be easily moved to different places.

Branch stand

You can make a very original stand from ordinary branches. For this purpose, you need to prepare:

• smooth branches without knots;
• burlap;
• cylindrical container;
• twine.

You can glue the parts together with a glue gun.

Operating procedure:

1. We cut the branches so that they are the same length, and their height is several centimeters more than the selected capacity.
2. We twine the twisted branches in a row. It is enough to make one strong knot on each workpiece.
3. The width of the workpiece from the branches should be equal to the volume of the container, therefore, as the branches are tied together, they must be applied to the cylinder.
4. Then wrap the container with burlap. We wrap the bottom of the fabric underneath and glue to the bottom of the container with a glue gun.
5. We wrap the cylinder with connected branches and fasten them with twine.

Ideas for creativity:

• The easiest way to make a stand is to use a regular saw cut. Take several wooden circles of different diameters, connect them together, and you will get an interesting pyramid.

Important! Wooden parts must be pre-treated with a protective water-repellent or simply varnished.

• If you collect a lot of plastic corks, then you can pick them up in size and color, connect them together with glue. They can be laid out in the shape of a circle, or very original multi-level designs can be made. The main thing is that the stand is stable and securely glued.
• You can use old unnecessary things and give them a new life. For example, iron legs from an old sewing machine or metal chairs that have already lost their appearance.
