    Wood Slice Plant Stand

    By Stacy 13 Comments

    I may or may not have a stash of wood slices. I don't go to craft stores often but I am always tempted to grab one of these every time I do go. I have a lot of projects in mind but I just haven't gotten to them yet. I did scratch one off of my list last month though! This project was originally share on Angie's List website. I started freelance writing for them a couple of months ago. I loved this project so much I wanted to share it here as well.

    I love mixing rustic items with modern or unexpected items. I knew this plant stand needed some glamorous gold legs!

    I bought some tapered legs from Home Depot but I decided they were a bit too long for this so I cut off a few inches which made them slightly less tapered. If I were to do this again I would have gone ahead and bought the 4 or 5 inch legs to begin with.

    I sprayed them with my new favorite gold spray paint.

    And I added some furniture leg pads since it would be going on my hardwood floors.

    Since the wood slice was not sealed, I added some polyurethane. I ended up doing 3 coats.

    I drilled holes on the bottom for the legs. Drill holes that are slightly smaller than the screw part.

    It really was just that simple! I think it would be pretty to make three that were different sizes and heights to group together.

    What projects did you get done over the weekend? Or were you lazy and binge watched Call The Midwife like me? :)

      Super cute wood slice plant stand Stacy! I made one with wheels back in the spring from my own wood slice left over from a tree I had to remove.

      thanks for sharing at Talk of the Town!
