How to Make Plant Hangers

If you're a fan of indoor plants but have limited floor space, making your own plant hangers can be a great solution. Not only are plant hangers functional, but they can also be a rustic and stylish addition to your living space. Keep reading to learn how to make plant hangers.

Materials You'll Need:

- 100 feet of cord (nylon, cotton, or jute depending on preference)

- Scissors

- Measuring tape

- Plant pot

Step 1: Cut the Cord

Cut eight pieces of cord, each measuring six feet long. These eight pieces will be used to make one plant hanger.

Step 2: Make the Knots

Gather all the cords together at one end, then tie a knot to secure them. Separate the cords into four groups of two cords each. Take the two cords in the first group, and tie a knot about six inches from the top knot. Repeat the process with the remaining three groups, so you have four knots evenly spaced down the length of the cords.

Step 3: Create the Basket

Now, it's time to create the basket that will hold your plant. Take the two cords from the first group and knot them together with the cords from the second group, about three inches below the first set of knots. Continue to knot the cords from the first and second groups together, creating a square knot.

Repeat the process with the cords from the third and fourth groups, forming a second square knot. Adjust the knots so that they are even with one another.

Step 4: Finish the Hanger

To create the hanger's loop, gather all eight cords together and tie a knot at the end, making sure it's big enough to fit over a hook or nail. Cut any excess cord.

Step 5: Hang Your Plant

Once you have finished making your plant hanger, place your plant pot inside the basket and adjust it so that it's level. Hang the plant hanger from a hook, tree branch, or wherever you desire.

Conclusion

Making your own plant hangers is an easy and fun DIY project that can add some greenery to your home without taking up valuable floor space. With a few simple materials and steps, you'll have a stylish new way to display your favorite plants. Happy crafting!
