Hey hey! Happy FRIDAY!
Have I mentioned that I am kind of on an outdoor kick at the moment? Yup… I want to plant something almost daily. It’s a sickness. I LOVE hanging baskets. I think they are so pretty and add so much character to the spaces they are displayed. I really don’t have any space on the actual outside of my house to hang them, so I thought it would be fun to create a stand to hold it for me. This is such a simple project! Here is how it turned out…
This is so easy!
Let’s get started…
You will need 3 pieces of wood.
2 – 2x4x8
1 – 2x8x8 at least 24″ long
This is a great scrap pile project for you hoarders like myself!
Here are my cuts for the 2×4…
Hanging Basket Wood Stand
I used my Kreg Jig to make the pocket holes on the longer boards. Then, just attach them like this…
Are you wondering what the heck a Kreg Jig is? Just check out our video here! We have tried to explain it in very simple terms!
Now for your 2×8… This will need to be 24″ long and I attached it using wood screws from the base into my rectangle like this…
Now for the hook… I found these great 50lb utility hooks at Lowe’s on the hardware aisle. Just drill a small hole in the center of the top of your rectangle…
And twist your hook in!
I used a finial from Lowe’s to fancy up the top a bit… I think it’s the perfect touch!
And a really bad full shot…
I filled my pocket holes with wood putty like this…
Finally, I gave everything a coat of Rust-Oleum black spray paint and let her dry! I used a sander to rough my edges up a bit after! So shanty!
I found the basket at Lowe’s along with the Creeping Fig and Coleus. I filled the basket and hung it up! That’s it!
What do you think??
Thanks so much for stopping by!
I would love for you to share this and PIN it with your peeps below!
Have an AWESOME weekend!

This would also be cute to hang some decorative/seasonal signs. Just have to make sure you find the center of balance of the sign so it doesn’t hang all wonky. LoL
Just curious as to what you charge for these?
