Step Two: Spray Painting Tips
Before you start using your spray paint cans, it’s very important to shake them until you hear a rattle after mixing it for about one minute. To prevent clogging, shake the can during the paint process as well.

Step Three: Letting the Plant Stand Dry
Now that we’ve spray painted our plant stands, let them dry for a few hours (or overnight) making sure they are completely dry before we start adding the rope.
Step Four: Add the Rope
Grab your cotton rope and untangle it to add it to the painted plant stand.

Step Five: Secure the Rope
Start by making a knot on the interior side of the planter to secure the rope. Wrap the metallic stand with the rope, covering the upper base entirely. When you finish covering the base, finish it off with a single knot.
