Why Make a Wood Plant Holder?

Wood plant holders are functional and look great in any decor style—farmhouse, modern, rustic, you name it. Plus, when you DIY, you can customize it to fit your space and style perfectly.

  • Scrap wood or wood boards
  • Wood screws or nails
  • Wood glue
  • Sandpaper
  • Stain or paint (optional)
  • Polyurethane (optional)
  • Measuring tape
  • Saw
  • Drill

How to Make It:

  1. Plan Your Design: Use my plans or adjust the size and width
  2. Cut the Wood: Cut your wood pieces to size and sand the edges smooth.
  3. Assemble: Use wood glue and screws to put it together. You can use a brad nailer and brad nails if you have one.
  4. Finish: Sand the assembled holder, then stain, paint, or seal it if you want. Let it dry completely.
  5. Add Plants: Pop your plants in! Use snug-fitting pots and add saucers to catch water.
