DIY An Artistic Plant Stand With Budget-Friendly Dollar Tree Items

Understanding how to decorate with indoor plants certainly isn't rocket science. But it can be a bit of a challenge to arrange your greenery and blooms in a way that transcends the standard flowers-in-vases, pots-in-plants topography. This DIY cloche plant stand will help by bringing the impact of your indoor flora to another level while adding a high-end rustic touch so you can pair your plants with your home's décor.

A cloche is simply a dome-shaped covering for something on display: plants, foods, candles — really anything that will fit under it. Constructing your designer-style cloche plant stand will require a trip to the Dollar Store for a Cooking Concepts Stove Burner Cover, a Plastic Champagne Glasse, a Gold Canning Jar Lid, an Essentials Wire Waste Basket, a Glass Prep Bowl, and a Jofefe Mini Place Card Holder from Amazon (if you don't find one at Dollar Tree). Of course, if you already have a few of these items hanging around the house, even better, you've got a wonderful upcycling opportunity. Once you've glued your items together, you'll paint the entire structure and then personalize it with some unique touches. Perhaps a lace doily in the bottom or a collection of twine balls or pine cones inside the cloche will speak to your style. Or, change out the cardholder handle for a length of heavy-duty rope or an old cabinet knob. Let your imagination run wild while you get your cloche plant stand constructed.

Begin by hot gluing the bottom of the champagne glass to the bottom of the small bowl. Next, attach the burner cover to the bowl to build a platform to display your greenery. For the cloche itself, glue the place card holder to the canning jar lid, then attach the lid to the bottom of your waste paper basket, creating a handle. Cover the entire piece with a couple of coats of paint, and you've got a designer-inspired decorative display.

Style your cloche with a piece of lace or other decorative material atop the burner cover, or include twine balls or pinecones in the display. Replace the place card handle with a rope by tying a thick knot on one end of the rope from inside the trash can, then thread it through the bottom and tie a thick knot on the other end. Or, repurpose an old cabinet pull to lift the cloche. You could even use a glass knob for a timeless, elegant look.

Because this DIY cloche isn't the traditional glass, the fragrance of your roses — or anything else you display — will waft through your space. In the bathroom, use it to display aromatic candles or soaps. In the kitchen, turn your plant stand into a cake or cookie stand, tempting all who walk by with a whiff. Whether you're looking for ideas on how to incorporate indoor foliage in your home décor or need a way to display a collection creatively, this artistic DIY will bring a sculptural touch to the design of your space.
