How to Make a Macrame Pot Plant Hanger

Macrame is a craft that involves knotting cords or strings together to create decorative items. One popular macrame project is a plant hanger, which adds a unique touch to any room. Follow these steps to create your own macrame pot plant hanger.

What You Will Need

Before you start your project, gather the following materials:

Cotton cord or string

A pot (preferably with a flat bottom)

Scissors

Tape measure

Step One: Measure and Cut Your Cord

Measure out eight pieces of cord that are each four times the length of your pot. For example, if your pot is 6 inches tall, you will need eight cords that are 24 inches long. Cut these cords and tie the ends together in a knot, leaving a loop at the top.

Step Two: Create the Top Knot

Separate your cords into four groups of two. Tie each group of cords together with a double knot, about 1 inch below the top knot. Then, tie all of the cords together in another double knot, about 3 inches below the top knot.

Step Three: Create the Bottom Knot

Hold your pot up to the cords. Tie all of the cords together in a double knot at the level where you want your pot to sit. Slide the pot into the cords to make sure it fits securely.

Step Four: Create the Knots for the Body of the Hanger

Separate your cords into pairs and tie a double knot about 2 inches below the top knot. Create another knot about 1 inch below the first knot. Repeat this process until you have reached the level of the bottom knot.

Step Five: Finish the Hanger

Straighten out any cords that are twisted. Gather all of the cords together and tie them in a knot about 2 inches below the last knot you made. Trim the excess cord so that it is even. Your macrame pot plant hanger is now complete!

Hang your pot plant hanger from a ceiling hook or a plant stand to enjoy your new decoration. Experiment with different types of cords and pots to make your hanger truly unique!
