I know this may be outside of the usual topics but here goes.
Is there a DIY for theses types of plant hangers? The one in the picture is $4 each, and with over 20 plants that would be at least $80 in plant hangers. Is there some type of cheaper DIY for this?
I was considering L braces or corner brackets, but they’re more expensive than the $4 hanger.
Fyi: I’m cheap.
No, you cannot make an ornate painted metal wall bracket for "cheap", ie for considerably less than $4, using any process that I would call "DIY" in the context of hanging a plant. If the question was "I have a metal shop, what's the cheapest approach to reproducing this piece", perhaps there would be a much-less-than-$4 one but that's not the question and this wouldn't be the forum.
A plant can be hung with a screw hook in a ceiling joist and a piece of string. Total cost 50 cents.
If you need to hang it from a wall you can get offcut scraps of wood from a hardware store for free (or pick up a discarded flood-damaged piece of furniture off the street and use that for wood) and make wood L brackets. You'll still need about 50 cents for screws.
I haven't priced flat steel stock, but you could make something triangular with no welding skill. You'd just need to drill 2 holes in the part that goes against the wall and an additional hole at the bottom of the hypotenuse. I'm still not sure you'll come in under 4 bucks, though.
