Indoor flowers are considered pets on a par with animals: they are provided with care, they are carefully monitored, they create conditions for green friends to grow and delight with lush foliage and beautiful flowers. Experienced florists grow real gardens that require organization in space, and I want it to be not only functional, but also beautiful. How and from what to create interesting flower stands with your own hands without much effort, read in our article.
Old chandelier
You will need:
- old chandelier;
- nippers;
- scissors;
- exterior paint;
- Super glue;
- plastic pots with pallets.
How to do:
- Clean chandelier, remove sockets and wiring.
- Use superglue to glue the pallets to the chandelier first, then the pots.
- Paint the resulting structure.
To prevent your hanging flower bed from swaying in the wind, you can put something heavy in the pots, such as pebbles. If you want to make such a stand for flowers for an apartment, it is better to paint it with artistic acrylic sold in jars, as it does not have an unpleasant smell.
Hanging shelves
You will need:
- wooden shelves;
- several pots;
- jute rope;
- core drill for wood;
- drill for wood.
How to do:
- With a core drill, the diameter of which coincides with the diameter of the planter, drill holes in the shelves (it is advisable to measure the diameter not at the very top of the pot, but below so that it holds well).
- Use a regular drill to make holes in all corners of each shelf.
- Take 4 pieces of rope (calculating the length for one piece: multiply the distance between the shelves by the number of shelves, add 20-25 centimeters to the knots, add the required amount of cord for hanging).
- Tie strong knots at the ends of the ropes, thread them into the previously drilled holes in the first shelf.
- Measure the distance between the shelves according to your idea, tie the second knots, and “put on” the second shelf on the ropes.
- Repeat these manipulations with all the shelves, then hang the resulting structure on hooks or a crossbar.
- Insert flower pots into the holes.
Bookcase
You will need:
- whatnot;
- pallets for flowers;
- paints and decor are optional.
How to do:
- Choose pallets for flowers according to the size of the shelves.
- Place pallets on a shelf (you can glue them for strength).
If you are satisfied with the look of the whatnot, then it will be enough to simply place pallets on it, if not, first decorate the structure in the way you like (stain, paint, decoupage) and only after that start placing the stands.
Glass shelves
You will need:
- glass shelves in the right amount;
- glass cutter;

Kitchen coasters
You will need:
- cross-shaped wooden stands;
- wooden slats;
- pallets for flowers;
- double-sided self-tapping screws for wood.
