HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN MACRAME PLANT HANGER, DIY

Macrame Plant Hanger.

Materials Needed:

1. Macrame cord or rope (cotton, jute, or nylon)

2. Scissors

3. Wooden or metal ring (for hanging)

4. Potted plant

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Cut the Cord:

- Cut the macrame cord into several lengths, depending on the desired length of your plant hanger. For a standard-size hanger, you'll need at least four strands of cord, each around 4-6 feet long.

2. Prepare the Hanging Structure:

- Fold each piece of cord in half and pass the looped end through the hanging ring.

- Pull the loose ends of the cord through the looped end to secure it to the ring. This creates the top of your plant hanger.

3. Create the Knots:

- Divide the cords into pairs. Working with one pair of cords at a time, create a square knot about 6 inches below the hanging ring. Repeat this process with the other pairs of cords.

4. Continue Knotting:

- Below the first row of square knots, create another row of square knots using pairs of cords from adjacent knots. You can create as many rows of knots as you like, depending on the length of your plant hanger.

5. Finish the Hanger:

- Once you've reached your desired length, gather all the cords together and tie a final knot at the bottom to secure them in place.

- Trim any excess cord below the final knot.

6. Insert the Plant:

- Place your potted plant into the macrame hanger, adjusting the cords as needed to ensure the plant is centered and secure.

7. Hang Your Plant Hanger:

- Find a suitable location to hang your macrame plant hanger, such as near a window or in a well-lit corner of your home.

- Use a hook or nail to hang the hanger securely from the ceiling or wall.

Tips:

- Experiment with different types of cord and knotting techniques to create unique patterns and designs for your plant hanger.

- Consider adding decorative beads or wooden accents to your macrame hanger for extra flair.

- Choose a plant that complements the aesthetic of your macrame hanger and fits comfortably within the pot.

With this project, you can create a stylish and on-trend macrame plant hanger that adds a touch of bohemian charm to any room in your home. Happy crafting!
