This quick and easy project is a fun way to add greenery to your space. A DIY wall plant hanger is a versatile decor piece that can be made without using power tools. Make multiple hangers and arrange them together for a fresh display piece.

1

Cut the Dowels

Small dowels for making a wooden plant hanger.

Cut the 3/4-inch dowels using a miter box and handsaw (or a miter saw) into the following sizes:

(8) 4-inch pieces
(4) 5 1/2-inch pieces

2

Sand the Dowels

A person's hands sanding a dowel with sandpaper.

Sand the edges of the dowels to remove burrs and splinters and also sand the sides slightly for a smooth finish.

3

Attach the First Piece

A person's hand applying glue to a dowel.

Apply a small dab of super glue to one end of a 5 1/2-inch piece.
Attach a 4-inch piece to it. Hold for 10 seconds (this hold time might vary by super glue used).

4

Attach the Other End

Apply a dab of super glue to the other end and attach a 4-inch piece.

5

Attach the Top

Add a dab of super glue to the top of both the 4-inch pieces from the above step and attach a 5 1/2-inch piece. This makes a square frame.

6

Repeat

The top and bottom pieces of a plant hanger.

Repeat the process to make a second square frame.

7

Attached the Frames

On each corner of a square frame, apply super glue and attach the 4-inch pieces vertically.

8

Complete the Hanger
