Home visit: make your own unique plant stand

Summer is the perfect time for DIY, but not every project has to be large-scale or take a whole weekend. Here’s a quick and simple idea for creating your own plant stand, from crafter and blogger Hester.

Start by gathering together plant pots, bowls, glassware or candlesticks – three or four pieces in total, and the more varied, the better! Hester uses contrasting colours and alternates them for maximum impact, but you could choose different shades of one colour. Select a good-sized piece for the base – one that can support the weight of the other pots and bowls, then glue them all together, base-to-base, top-to-top, building a small tower.

‘I love adapting stuff – it’s a fun process and the end result is always something unique. It’s playful, not serious’
