Small tables, stools and even large wastebaskets turned upside down and are great, you can even spray paint or wrap bamboo fencing around milk crates. When we cut down a tree in our side yard I used pieces of the trunk as plant stands. You can cut them for whatever height you want (caution, these are heavy and not easily moved around). When my bird bath bowl cracked, I used the base for a stand - worked great. I saw this but haven't tried it yet. - It is magazines. Not sure how strong it would be. http://greenupgrader.com/3706/recycled-magazine-plant-stand-... When I was a kid (back before the dinasours all died off) our neighbor used to hang oven racks and cooling racks from wires and ropes in trees and put pots on them. I guess macrame hadn't been invented then. lol Pic of a stand made out of a tomato cage. This message was edited Feb 2, 2011 11:16 PM |
