Dollar Tree DIY Umbrella Stand

 

I made this Dollar Tree DIY Umbrella Base using a Dollar Tree flower bucket. The cost to make a DIY umbrella stand is under $5 if you follow this tutorial. I was looking for umbrella base alternatives to use with our tiki beach umbrellas during the Summer months. I found some makeshift umbrella stand ideas on Pinterest and knew I could DIY a similar umbrella stand using Dollar Tree supplies. Keep reading and watch the video below to learn how to make this cheap and easy Dollar Tree DIY Umbrella Base!

In case you are in a hurry…

 

✅ This is the Outdoor Umbrella I used in our DIY Umbrella stands. We’ve had this umbrella for a couple of years and they are really good quality for the price!

 

 

Everything you need to make this Umbrella Base can be found at Dollar Tree, Home Depot, or Lowes). I made one Cement Umbrella Base with $5 in supplies!

 

 

How do you make a free-standing umbrella base?

 

I made this free0standing umbrella base by using a Dollar Tree flower pot, cement, and PVC pipe to fit the umbrellas that we had.

 

 

 

How do you make an umbrella portable stand?

 

This DIY umbrella stand is portable because it weighs under 25 lbs and most people can lift it to move it. You could add a rolling cart (wood with wheels) or add wheels to the flower pot.

 

 

 

How do you make an umbrella planter?

 

I share how to make an umbrella planter stand in this tutorial. I did not add flowers to my finished umbrella stand, but you could easily add flowers to your DIY umbrella stand! I’d recommend leaving space at the top so you can add soil and flowers. Or use 2 flower pots, one inside the other, and the outer pot filled with flowers.

 

 

 

Can you use an umbrella stand without a table?

 

Yes! Although, you will want to make sure the umbrella you use has lightweight compared to the base you are using. You don’t want the umbrella to be top-heavy and easily blown over by the wind.

  • PVC Pipe (ours is 1-inch diameter)
  • Water
  • Spray Paint (optional)
  • Safety Face Mask 
  • Outdoor Umbrella to fit your DIY base (we used this umbrella)

 

Directions:

  3. Add water to the flower pot. dollar tree flower pot diy
