Plant Stand
I made a plant stand to hold my one of many plants! (Yes I have a plant addiction) What did I previously use dowels for? I had bought a set of dowels to make an automata for an engineering project!
Supplies
What you do need
- 0.75" Dowels (4)
- 3/8" Dowels (3)
- Drill
- Adhesive
- Band Saw
- Wood Stain (optional)
- Zip-Ties (optional)
What you don't need
- A child that knocks down plants
Marking
For the large dowels, mark where you will drill your holes to insert the smaller dowels. On two of the dowels I drilled above the line and for the other two I drilled below. Make sure the holes are level.
Assemble
Assemble the dowels together. I used hot glue to keep everything together. To keep the plant balanced, use a third dowel (broken in half) and glue on top of the lower dowel. (Refer to cover picture)
Stain
- This is optional! I used a Water-Based Interior Wood Stain (Weathered Gray Satin)
- I added zip-ties for extra security.
