How to Make a Plant Hanger with Rope
Plant hangers are a great way to add some greenery to your living space while also displaying your plants in a stylish and unique way. If you're looking for a budget-friendly and creative project, making a plant hanger with rope might be just the thing you need. Here's how to do it:
What You'll Need:
- 100 feet of 6mm cotton rope
- Scissors
- Measuring tape
- Wooden ring or keyring
- Planter pot
Step 1: Cut the Rope
Measure out 8 pieces of rope that are each 12 feet long. Cut them and tie them all together using an overhand knot at one end.
Step 2: Form the Knot
Take the knotted end of the rope and form a loop, then tie a tight knot about 6 inches below the loop. This knot will be what holds your planter pot, so make sure it's tight and secure.
Step 3: Divide the Ropes
Divide the 8 pieces of rope into 4 sections, each with 2 ropes. Take a section and tie a knot about 3 inches below the previous knot. Repeat with the other 3 sections.
Step 4: Braid the Ropes
Take the first two ropes from one section, and the second two ropes from another section. Braid them together until you reach the knot. Repeat with the other two sections, so that you end up with three braided ropes.
Step 5: Finish the Hanger
Take the three braided ropes and tie them together using an overhand knot about 4 inches below the last knot. Thread the wooden or keyring onto the three ropes above the knot. Tie another knot about 2 inches above the ring.
Step 6: Hang Your Plant
Now that your plant hanger is complete, find a spot to hang it and place your planter pot within the knots you made. Adjust the ropes until the pot sits comfortably in the middle of the hanger.
Making a plant hanger with rope is a fairly simple and inexpensive project that can really add some charm and personality to your living space. With some rope and a few simple knots, you'll have a unique and stylish way to display your beloved plants. Happy crafting!
