Time to celebrate Spring! Create a handy stand for pot plants or hot dishes on your patio table.
Carefully take apart the laundry pegs.
Discard the metal pieces.
Lay out your design and take a picture for reference.
Glue 2 pieces together at a time and set aside to dry completely.
Now glue all the pieces together to form the pot stand.
Let it dry.
Once it is dry, paint the top and sides. Use a small brush to paint in between the smaller spaces. Once dry, paint a second layer. Add 2 layers of paint on the bottom and let dry.
Finish off with a layer of podge or glaze coat. If you want to use it as a table protector, coat it with heat-resistant varnish.
Plan the position of the beads to carry the weight of a pot. Remember one in the centre. Glue them to the bottom. Paint them or leave them as is for a natural look.
Once dry, place your pot stand on its ‘feet’ and glue some embellishments around the outer edge.
