Cut the Dowels
Cut the 3/4-inch dowels using a miter box and handsaw (or a miter saw) into the following sizes:
- (8) 4-inch pieces
- (4) 5 1/2-inch pieces
Sand the Dowels
Sand the edges of the dowels to remove burrs and splinters and also sand the sides slightly for a smooth finish.
Attach the First Piece
- Apply a small dab of super glue to one end of a 5 1/2-inch piece.
- Attach a 4-inch piece to it. Hold for 10 seconds (this hold time might vary by super glue used).
Attach the Other End
Apply a dab of super glue to the other end and attach a 4-inch piece.
Attach the Top
Add a dab of super glue to the top of both the 4-inch pieces from the above step and attach a 5 1/2-inch piece.
This makes a square frame.
Repeat
Repeat the process to make a second square frame.
Attached the Frames
On each corner of a square frame, apply super glue and attach the 4-inch pieces vertically.
Complete the Hanger
- Apply super glue on top of each 4-inch post and attach the second square frame.
- This builds a plant hanger to accommodate a 4-inch diameter clay pot.
Paint and Hang
- Paint or stain in the color of your choice.
- Attach multiple cubes using super glue to assemble interesting patterns, if you like.
- Use D-ring hangers to hang up on the wall, and enjoy.
