We are big fans of mid-century modern in our house. The only challenge we have with a lot of the really great furniture is the cost! We have been looking for a modern plant stand like this for a while, and while I found some pretty ones like this.

In hopes of saving $90 for this plant stand, I decided I would share with you a quick and simple tutorial for you to create one yourself. First off, the white pot. I found that at Homegoods for $20. I'm always on the hunt for modern white planters, so if you come across one, snag it up.

Now onto the planter. There are a number of different variations of this planter including:

  • Wood Thickness
  • Height
  • Width
  • Color

You will need to adjust these measurements according to your planter, but our planter is 9.5 inches wide.

For our planter we are building a simple version using a 1x2 piece of wood. Did you you know that 1 by 2's are actually 1 inch by 1.5 inches? Mid-Century Modern Plant Stand. DIY Modern Planter Tutorial. DIY Mid-Century Plant Stand.

Cut List

  • 4 - 12 inch
  • 2 - 4 inches
  • 1 - 9.5 inches

Supplies

  • Mider Saw - This is the one I use.
  • Drill
  • 1.5 inch screws

The easiest way is to mark the middle of the 9.5 inch piece and then with the screws, screw the 4 inch pieces to each side of the 9.5 inch piece. I suggest you screw the screws in diagonally. This will secure the cross in place. For those that don't work with wood very often, it is helpful to drill a hole first in the wood using a drill bit about the same size or slightly smaller than your screw. This will ensure your wood doesn't split when you screw your screws in.Mid-Century Modern Plant Stand. DIY Modern Planter Tutorial.

I like the idea of one side shorter than the other, so I didn't secure the screws right in the middle of the 12 inches. Mid-Century Modern Plant Stand. DIY Modern Planter Tutorial.

You know we love color, and so we went ahead and painted ours with a fun spray paint.Mid-Century Modern Plant Stand. DIY Modern Planter Tutorial.
