On a recent trip to Homegoods, I saw basket plant stands that I thought would be a great addition to a little corner by our buffet. The baskets weren’t really the tone/color I liked and also by looking at them they looked really easy for something that could be a DIY.
They were around $40 and I knew I could do it for cheaper. While walking the aisles I found a cute basket with a tone and size that would work to DIY my own plant stand. Bingo and only $12.99!
The only thing I needed now was legs and the ones at the store basically just looked like dowels so that’s what I purchased. 11/4″ 4′ dowel from Lowes.
After looking online to see what angle the legs should be cut at I came to the conclusion to cut the dowels on a 10 degree angle on my Miter saw on both sides parallel.
I cut the dowel into 16″ legs.
Using a scrap piece of underlayment I marked where the legs would be by creating a circle then marking 120 degrees around the circle to make three marks.
Then I screwed the underlayment up through basket into to a scrap piece of wood.
That worked perfect and it looked great!
I stained the legs Puritan Pine and found 3 little faux plants that were around my home and put them in until I find bigger ones.
How cute does it look in this little spot?
