How to build a pot plant stand

Step one
Mark five pieces of timber measuring 600mm and two pieces of timber measuring 300mm.

Step two
Use the back of the saw to mark cutting lines, as shown.

Step three
Cut the lengths of timber using the pencil lines as a guide.

Step four
Smooth any cut edges with sandpaper.

Step five
Attach two of the longer lengths to the two shorter lengths, as shown, fixing at each corner with PVA glue and nails.

Step six
Repeat step five, fixing the remaining lengths in position, as shown. Allow glue to dry.

Step seven
Apply one coat of Resene Quick Dry to the plant pot stand and allow two hours to dry.

Step eight
Apply two coats of Resene Paua to the plant pot stand, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.

Other ideas: The plant pot stand could also be stained with any colour from the Resene Woodsman range.
