For a wall in a light, airy spot

100-grit sandpaper

A selection of air plants

Tools: Drill, 22mm spade bit, 5mm

What you need

4 x 22mm PVC elbows (we painted ours copper colour, don’t use copper as it could be toxic to your plants)

1 x 400mm x 200mm plank

Twine

Chalk paint

Paintbrush

Super contact adhesive

1 Measure where to place the elbows on the wood plank. Mark 5cm from one side and 2cm from the bottom. From the 5cm point measure 10cm across the wood three times to make the four spaces for the elbows.
