An Easy DIY Fern Stand From A Thrift Shop Find

I think this was a candle stand that may have had a glass part too.  I found it at the thrift shop a few years ago and just ran across it in my shed.

I gave it a quick and easy repurpose!

After wiping all the dust off the holder, I spray painted it with two coats of Rust-Oleum Chalked Spray Paint in Charcoal.

I hung it on the clothesline with an S hook to spray paint the bottom!

I sealed the chalk paint with two coats of Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Multi Purpose Spray Paint in Matte Clear.

I originally thought I would use a terracotta pot in the candleholder but I had trouble finding one that fit, so I pulled out one of my galvanized Norah Vases.  This one is 5" x 5".  It fit into the lantern shape perfectly.

I did not drill holes in the vase as the plant stand will be under my covered patio.  I will have to be careful not to overwater.

I found mine at Menards for $5.49.

Ferns do so well on my covered patio.

It was a super easy makeover!
