Living plants make our home beautiful, cozy, very special and soulful. But flower pots sometimes take up a lot of space, and some of them cannot be placed on windowsills. Or perhaps you want to decorate one of the corners of your apartment with plants. Flower stands that you can make yourself can help out.
It is necessary
- - wooden slats with a section of 25x50 mm,
- - special glue for wood,
- - nails of 40 mm;
- - 2 meter floorboards,
- - 4 strips for fastening boards,
- - tools (jigsaw, drill, grinder, screwdriver),
- - chain,
- - screws,
- - hooks,
- - clamp,
- - means for wood processing.
Instructions
Step 1
The simplest stand will help you keep moisture and stains out of your window sill or floor. Take wooden strips with a section of 25x50 mm, special glue for wood and 40 mm nails. Let's get to work.
Step 2
Saw the planks into 16 pieces, each 500 mm long. Although the size may be different depending on your needs. Saw the remaining pieces into 20-30 pieces with a shorter length - from 200 to 250 mm.
Step 3
Let's start assembling. Lay out the base of the stand from the long blocks (place the blocks with the wide part in height), align and glue the parts well. Then, on the base of shorter parts, lay out the nest stands as you want, as you imagine. Trim and glue everything again.
Step 4
After making sure that all the parts are firmly connected to each other, hammer nails into the intersections of the parts. Drive in carefully so that the sticks do not split.
Step 5
Now grind the finished stand, tint or varnish. For the manufacture of the base, you can also use a solid board. Only pre-treat it with a moisture protection agent for wood.
Step 6
You can also make a simple and beautiful container for flowers. Take: 2 meter floorboards (30 cm board width); 4 planks for fastening boards; tools (jigsaw, drill, sander, screwdriver, chain, screws, hooks and clamp (vise). Later, wood processing products will also come in handy.
Step 7
Let's get started. All parts need to be well sanded (it is better to take fine-grained sandpaper). Clamp on one side of the board. Mark the circles on the boards, the diameter of your flower pots. Use a jigsaw to cut out the circles. Make as many circles as you want to place the flowers on the stand. The holes are ready.
Step 8
Next, fasten the structure with the rest of the strips.
Step 9
Remove irregularities, roughness (with a file, sandpaper). Treat the tree with protective products. Tighten the screws and hooks. Measure the chain length you need so that you can hang the stand at the location of your choice. There should be two such segments. Connect them with a ring and hook on the hooks.
