If you have a long window that is longing for plant life to adorn it, create this simple plant stand using items from a hardware store and simple tools!
TOOLS You'll Need: – drill – tape measure – 5/16″ Drill Bit – 2 – 5/16″ Hex Jam Nuts AND 2 adjustable wrenches OR – thread hanger bolt driver – hammer – pencil
MATERIALS You'll Need: – 1 – 1 in. x12 in. x 6 ft board – 4 – Parsons Table Legs (15-1/4″ tall) – 1 pack of 4 – 5/16 Tee Nuts
Step 1 Measure the placement of table legs. I measured 3″ in from the long side and 2″ in from the short side from each of the board’s four corners.
Step 2 Drill a hole all the way through with 5/16 drill bit at each of the board’s four corners.
Step 3 On the side of the 2×12 that will serve as the top, hammer the t-nuts into the drilled holes until the underside of the tee nut is flush against the table top.
Step 4 Loosen the hanger bolts so that the screws in the legs are long enough to reach the tee nuts through the board/table top.
Step 5 Turn the table top upside down and screw legs into the tee nuts. Now turn the table right side up, and you have a plant stand!
