There’s something about plants that instantly makes a space feel alive. But instead of the usual pots lined up on a shelf, why not give them a little spotlight? Floating hexagon planters are a stylish way to show off your greenery while adding a modern touch to your walls. The best part? You can make them yourself with just a few supplies and some free time.

What You’ll Need

• Wooden craft sticks

• Strong glue or a hot glue gun

• Small plant pots or glass jars

• Wall hooks or nails

• Paint or wood stain (optional)

Step 1: Build the Hexagon Frame

Lay six craft sticks in a hexagon shape, gluing the ends together. Keep stacking and gluing layers until the frame is about 1–2 inches deep. This creates a sturdy, hollow hexagon.

Step 2: Customize the Look

Once the glue dries, you can leave the wood natural, stain it for a rustic vibe, or paint it in bold colors. White or black paint gives it a clean, modern look, while bright colors can make it pop.

Step 3: Add the Planter

Place a small pot, jar, or glass tube inside the bottom of the hexagon. For extra security, you can glue a small ledge or piece of cardboard inside to hold it steady. Succulents and trailing plants work especially well here since they don’t need much soil.

Step 4: Hang It Up

Attach a picture hanger, sawtooth hook, or strong string to the back of your hexagon. Hang it on a nail or wall hook. If you make several, arrange them in a cluster for a striking wall display.

Step 5: Style and Enjoy

Add your plants, step back, and admire. These floating planters look great in living rooms, bedrooms, or even kitchens. Mix and match plant types for variety—try pairing a cactus with a trailing pothos for contrast.

Floating hexagon planters are an easy project that makes a big impact. With a few craft sticks and some creativity, you can turn a blank wall into a little garden feature. It’s simple, affordable, and totally customizable to your style.
