Easy Macrame Plant Hanger DIY
This Easy Macrame Plant Hanger DIY only uses two macrame knots and is a perfect quick macrame project to try with your grands.
Servings: 1 plant hanger
Cost: $3
Equipment
- 1 Scissors
- 1 Measuring ruler or yardstick
- 1 Flower Pot or a jar to put in the plant holder
Ingredients
- 1 set Set of Macrame cord and Rings OR buy separately below
- 1 Macrame Wooden Rings
- 1 roll Macrame Cord
Instructions
- Cut 6 pieces of macrame cord that are each 7 feet long.
- Line these cords up with ends even. Fold the cords in half.
- Pull the folded ends of the cords through the wooden ring (all together).
- Number the cords so that it is easy to refer to the specific cords that we will use to make macrame knots in each step. I will talk about cords 1-4, 5-8, 9-12 for instance. Label them if you want.
- You will be tying an overhand knot with cords 1-4, all four cords at once 5 inches down from the wooden ring. Repeat this step with cords 5-8 and then repeat again with cords 9-12.
- Now take cords 3 and 4 (from the first group of cords) and cords 5 and 6 (from the second group of cords and tie an Overhand Knot 7 inches below the first Overhand Knots that you made in the last step. Repeat this step with cords 7-8-9-10 and then with 11-12-1-2.
- Now take cords 1-4 and tie an overhand knot 3 inches down from the last set of knots. Repeat this step with cords 5-8 and again with cords 9-12.
- Lastly, tie an overhand knot with all the cords (1-12) 3 inches down from the last set of knots. This is the knot that will ultimately hold the plant and pot in the bottom of the plant holder.
- Trim the cords 6 inches below this knot. Boom, you are done.
Notes
This macrame plant hanger fits smaller pots and plants. You can adapt this project to be larger for larger pots and plants. Just cut longer cords and tie the knots at a greater distance from one another.
