Macramé hanging plants

Pinterest worthy hanging planters never looked so cool. Decorate your room by hanging your plants instead of having them on the table. We tried DIY-ing it and we’ll tell you that Macramé can look super complicated at first glance (we thought so too) but you’d be surprise on how quick you can make it.

You will need:

A spool of yarn/string/old t-shirts (thick enough to hold the weight)

Scissors

Potted plant

Step 1: cut your strings to 8 equal lengths. We made about one arm’s length. Have them longer so you can have extra length. Don’t worry if it’s longer than you’d expect, we’ll tell you later on.

Step 2: Gather them together and tie a knot. This will be your base.

Step 3: Divide the strings into 4 pairs.

Step 4: Our pot is small so we went about 10 cm down from the topknot. Tie the same knot for each pair.

Step 5: Now to create a square base, you’ll need to tie a knot on a new set of pairs by splitting the original pairs. Go down about 10cm from the previous knot. 

Knot the second and third string together, the fourth and fifth cord together an then knot the first cord to the last one to create the base for the pot.

Step 6: Tie a loop at the remaining strings. Adjust them to how long you want it to hang. Cut off any excess.

Step 7: Place your potted plant on the base and Voila!
