Make your own potting table

If you love to spend time outside getting dirty in the garden, then you need to have this potting table. Every gardener needs a place to prepare the plants for the garden, whether that is for planters or garden beds. In this DIY we will show you how to make your own potting table.

Create your own

For this DIY we bought some table legs at the thrift store and used an old pallet for the tabletop. Explore thirftstores, visit the hardware store, or check out your (or your family's) garage and start creating!

What you need

  • Talens Art Creation Indoor & Outdoor 
  • Brushes
  • Table legs
  • Old pallet
  • Tools
  • Sandpaper 

Measure, cut, and screw the table together

Step 1

Measure how big you want the top to be and cut the pallet planks to the desired size. Then, use some screws to put the table together. Make sure everything is stable and secure.

Sand and paint the table

Step 2

Sand the table legs and the top to make the surface smooth. Then, paint the top and legs in the desired colors using Indoor & Outdoor paint. Let everything dry for 30 minutes. 

Assemble the table

Step 3

Now that your whole table is painted and ready, you can attach the legs to the tabletop. Make sure the table does not wobble.

All done!

Your potting table is now finished! If there is any wood left, you can also make a mini garden! The tutorial for this project can be found here: DIY herb garden | Royal Talens
