DIY WOOD PLANTER

Today I share this fantastic DIY WOOD PLANTER you can make using one board.

I am joining a fabulous group of woodworking gals today. My friend over at Jen Woodhouse organizes monthly challenges, and I thought I would challenge myself more with building this year. So today’s challenge was to create something from a single ONE BOARD. And I made not ONE but TWO of these super cool wood planters.:-)

I just posted about my BOHO Patio REFRESH last week, and these planters are the perfect additions to my super fun patio. I love plants inside or out, and I am always short on planters. I knocked these planters out using ONE 8 FT board that cost me $12. That’s a deal, am I right?

HOW TO MAKE A DIY WOOD PLANTER

Materials you need:

1. One 1x10x8 pine board
2. miter saw ( or you can have your board cut at The Home Depot
3. wood glue
4. drill
5. wood screw
6. stain ( optional)

STEPS TO MAKE A DIY WOOD PLANTER

1. Cut the wood panels to size. I wanted to make sure I can get two planters out of my board and knowing that I was working with an 8ft board, I determined the size of the sides of my planters.
2. I cut 3 x 9 1/4″ and 2 7 3/4″ pieces for my planter.
3. 
4. I glued and secured the 3 x  9 1/4″ pieces together. I used wood glue on the sides then I drilled a pilot hole and screwed the sides together.
5. 
7. 
8. 
9. Then as the last step, I added the two sides ( the 2 x 7 3/4 pieces) — same way: drilled a pilot hole and a screw.
10. 

And then I stained it with dark chestnut wood stain.

It was an easy project that I was comfortable with, and I think they turned out super cool.

Will you try to make these planters? They are so fun and easy to make!
