As my collection of plants grows, I can’t stand spending money on planters. Why are they so expensive?
So I went into my garage to find a home for my plant! I had tons of wood lying around so this project was free using my scrap wood
What you need
- 2×6 cut into 5.5” x 7”. You can adjust the size based on the size of your planter caught
- Plywood. You can adjust the size based on the height of your planter. I did 2 of each 8” tall x 5.5” and 8 x 77
- Thin scraps of wood. Mine were 1” wide
- Nail gun
- Wood glue
- Mitre saw
- Clamps
Let’s get building
- After all your pieces are cut, just nail the plywood to the 2×6 base
- I also used wood glue along the edges of the plywood and clamps to hold them together
- 3. Once your box is made and dry then you can lay out your thin strips and figure out your pattern. I just marked each piece and cut it as I went along. I used the 45* for the angled cuts
- Optional: you can also paint or stain it
