Instructions
Step 1
Use a drill with a 1/2" glass/tile bit to drill holes in the centers of all four saucers (soak the saucers in water and drill straight down from the top to keep them from cracking).
Step 2
Mark the middle of the threaded rod; run the 10" saucer up the rod to this halfway mark and secure with a washer and a hex nut above and below (see Project Diagram).
Step 3
Invert the 8" saucer and place underneath the 12" saucer. Attach both saucers at the bottom using a hex nut and washer above and below.
Step 4
Attach the 6" saucer and the 4" pot at the top of the rod using a washer and a hex nut at the bottom and a washer and cap nut inside the pot at the top.
Step 5
Adjust the saucer heights as desired by moving the hex nuts and washers up or down. Wrap twine around the threaded rod; tie at the end. Place additional 4" pots filled with your favorite plants on the saucers.
Good to Know
For a different look, try painting the saucers or leaving the metal rod exposed.
