November DIY Challenge :: Hanging Wood Slice Plant Stand

13 Wood Slice Crafts

Alright guys we’re going to be making things more official around here! The lovely ladies that I’ve paired up with for the Crate & Pumpkin Challenges are going to be bringing you a new themed project every second Wednesday of the month, starting next month 🙂 We’ll continue to choose one object or material to work with and all come up with our own creations! And this month was wood slices!

DIY Hanging Wood Slice Plant Stand

Things didn’t start out so easily for me on this one. My original idea was to make little knobs  to use on one of my furniture pieces but they just looked silly. I kept trying to make them work and I just kept getting more frustrated. So I took a break for a couple days and reset my brain.

I wanted to do something unique that hadn’t been done before. There are SO many wood slice projects out there, it was hard to get creative on this one. But then it hit me. I was driving and suddenly had this ah-ha moment to make a hanging wood slice plant stand! And guess what? It’s SUPER easy. And prob one of my fav projects 🙂 Here’s what you need:

DIY Hanging Wood Slice Plant Hanger:: Wood Slice (I got mine at Michael’s)
:: Suede Strip (2)
:: Curved Hanging Plant Bracket (Home Depot)

So the bracket was actually black, but I was so excited to get started I forgot to take a picture of it before I spray painted it gold. That was step one 😉

Step two is to drill four holes in your wood slice.

And step three is to just loop your suede strips through the holes and tie the knots! It takes a little trial and error to make sure they are both the same length and it hangs evenly. I have to make sure I give a shout out to the hubby for a little help he gave me. I originally had thin leather rope that didn’t look quite right and it was his suggestion to use something thicker. I’ll admit he was right. This time 😉

Then just nail in your bracket wherever you want it and hang it up!

Oh and of course don’t forget the cute little succulents 🙂

And that’s it!

  9. Bre this is so cool! What a great idea! I just got one of these the other day for my son’s birthday party decor, but I may have to turn it into a plant stand when I’m done! Thanks so much for sharing it with us at On Display Thursday! We look forward to seeing you again this Wednesday night at 9 pm CST! http://www.thedomesticheart.com
