How to Make a Hanging Plant Pot Holder
Hanging plant pot holders are a stylish and convenient way to display your plants without taking up valuable floor or counter space. Whether you have a large garden or a small apartment balcony, hanging plant pot holders can add a touch of greenery to any space. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make your own hanging plant pot holder.
Materials You Will Need
Twine or rope
Scissors
Tape measure
Hot glue gun
Small pot
Step 1: Measure and Cut the Twine
Start by measuring the length of the twine you will need to create your pot holder. The length will depend on the size of your pot and how long you want the holder to hang. Typically, 4-6 pieces of twine, each measuring at least 3 feet long, will be sufficient for most pots.
Once you’ve measured out your twine, cut each piece to size using scissors.
Step 2: Create the Knots
Take one piece of twine and fold it in half. Repeat this step for each piece of twine you’ve cut.
Once you’ve folded all of your twine, take one of the folded pieces and create a loop at the top. This will serve as the hanging hook for your pot holder. Use the hot glue gun to secure the loop in place.
Next, take all of the folded pieces of twine and knot them together below the loop you’ve just created. Make sure the knot is tight so that the pot holder won’t fall apart when you add the pot.
Step 3: Add the Pot
Now that you’ve created the structure of your pot holder, it’s time to add the pot. Simply place the pot in the center of the twine and adjust the knots so that the pot sits snugly. Double check that the knots are secure so that your pot won’t fall out of the holder.
Step 4: Clean Up the Twine Ends
Once your pot is securely in place, use the scissors to trim any excess twine. Be sure to trim the twine evenly so that the pot holder is balanced when it hangs.
Step 5: Hang Your Pot Holder
Now that your hanging plant pot holder is complete, it’s time to give your plants a stylish new home. Simply find a sturdy hook or nail to hang your pot holder, and enjoy your new DIY creation!
With just a few simple materials and some basic knotting techniques, you can create a beautiful hanging plant pot holder that will add a touch of greenery to any space. Whether you’re a seasoned DIY enthusiast or just looking for a fun new project, making your own pot holder is an easy and rewarding way to add a little bit of nature to your home.
