Shutter Plant Stand

2. Use wood screws to attach all four shutters to each other in the shape of a pillar.

3. Use wood putty to cover all of the holes, including those left by removing the hinges.

4. Measure the dimensions of the inside of the pillar you have created, and cut the piece of 1/4-inch plywood to that size.

5. Cut the piece of 1-inch plywood larger (about 1 inch on all sides) than the pillar.

6. Center the 1/4-inch plywood on the piece of one-inch plywood, and after drilling pilot holes, attach with wood screws. This becomes the top for your plant pillar.

7. Spray water onto your shutter surface.

8. Spray lightly with the green spray paint. Be sure to work in a well-ventilated area. Dab off the excess of both with a cloth, and repeat the water and paint process until you have the desired look.

9. When the project is finished, add a light inside the pillar as an accent if desired.
