Equipment

  • small craft hand saw  or bread knife

Ingredients

  • 8" foam wreath rings
  • super glue or hot glue gun
  • 7" wood circles a little smaller than your wreath rings
  • painter’s tape optional
  • spray paint or acrylic paint of your choice

Instructions

Horizontally Fluted Stand:

  • To make the horizontally fluted one, all you have to do is glue several foam rings together for the base. I did two but you could do more than that to make it taller.
    Once they are attached, glue your wooden circle centered on top and you’re ready to paint!

Arched plant stand: 

  • For this one, you’ll want to glue your rings together like for the other planter, but then you cut the donuts in half with a serrated bread knife or a craft saw. You can put some painter’s tape around where you are going to cut to keep the edges from getting ragged as you saw.
    Once your donuts are cut in half, use your knife or saw again to cut off the rounded tip of your half circle (cut about 1″ off) so that your wooden circle top has a flat place to sit.
  • Once you have your base cut, center and glue on your wooden circle for the top and allow the glue to set.
  • Once your glue is dry for your bases, you can paint your stands! You can use either spray paint or acrylic paint for this. I did notice that spray paint tends to enhance the snakeskin-like texture of the foam more than acrylic paint being brushed on does, but I like the textured look so I used spray paint for mine.
  • Once your paint is dry, add your plant and your stand is ready to get to work!
