How To Make a “Terra-Cotta Table“

#TBCCrafters Hop

I get the Lowes Creative Ideas magazine and love it!! There are always some great ideas for indoor and outdoor and you can pick according to your budget. I saw this one a long time ago and never had a chance to put it together. Figure with the weather still nice here in the mountains of AZ, it would be perfect to use for some plants on the patio, or even as a side table for the hammock, if needed. You could put your book, drink and whatever else on there and enjoy some rest. It was very easy to make and only cost about $30. My son, Dylan, helped with most of it, so thank you son!!

I hope you like it!! Have a blessed day, and please be sure to comment on and share this #TBCCrafters craft!!

“Terra-Cotta Table“

Materials/Tools Used:

(2) 12″ Pots
(1) 12.25″ Saucer
(2) 0.5″ x 2″ Fender Washers
(2) 2″ Rubber Washers
0.5″ x 2″ Galvanized Hex Bolt
0.5″ Galvanized Hex Nut
& Time!

Instructions:

Put the two pots on their sides, with the drain holes facing each other.

Place a fender washer on the 2″ hex bolt followed by a rubber washer.

Insert the bolt through the holes of both pots. Add the other rubber washer, fender washer, and nut. Tighten the nut just enough to pull the pots together. Use your fingers for this – if you use a wrench, it might get too tight and break the clay pots.

Place the piece where you want it to be, and put the saucer into the top opening. You might have to wiggle it just a bit to get it flat.

Now you are done! Simple to make and one that I will definitely be making more of in my yard. Would be perfect for parties, a bird bath, feeder or like this plant stand!

Hope you like it! Please take a minute to leave me a comment and let me know what you would do different, or what you would add, etc. Be sure to tweet, pin, share, etc. – thanks!!

I love how you secured the pots together. That looks nice and stable! It would even be fun to paint some designs on them. Love the color and look of natural terra cotta.
