Chalkboard Label Tiered Stand and Pots

Create a lovely stand for displaying small potted plants with the Chalkboard Label Tiered Stand and Pots tutorial. Using chalkboard paint allows you to decorate the stand and plant pokes with your own designs and labels. A great idea for this project is to make this tiered stand for a garden party and label the plants with your guests' names in order to give them away as parting gifts. Whether you design this stand for personal use or for parties, you will have a customizable garden decoration that you will love forever.
