How to Make a Macrame Pot Plant Holder

Macrame plant hangers are a popular and stylish way to display your plants. They are easy to make at home with just a few materials and some basic knots. In this article, we will guide you step-by-step through the process of making your own macrame pot plant holder.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, you will need to gather the following materials:

Cotton cord or rope (we recommend 4mm thickness)

Scissors

Tape measure or ruler

Pot or vase to hang

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Cut the cord

Cut four pieces of cord, each measuring around 3 times the length of your pot or vase. For example, if your pot is 10 inches tall, cut each piece of cord to 30 inches in length.

Step 2: Tie the cords together

Fold the four pieces of cord in half and tie them together with an overhand knot, leaving a loop at the top to hang your plant holder. Make sure the knot is tight and adjust the length of the cords if necessary.

Step 3: Start the knotting

Take the two outer cords from each group and tie them together in a square knot. Repeat this process with the remaining cords until you have several rows of knots below the hanging loop.

Step 4: Add a spiral knot

Once you have several rows of square knots, it's time to add a spiral knot. Take the two middle cords from one group and tie them in a half-knot around the two middle cords from the next group. Repeat this process around the entire circle until you have a spiral shape.

Step 5: Continue knotting

Continue making rows of square knots and spiral knots until your pot holder is the desired length for your pot or vase. Remember to leave enough space at the bottom for your pot to sit comfortably.

Step 6: Finish the knots

Once you have reached the desired length, tie a knot at the bottom of each cord to secure the knots in place. Trim any excess cord with scissors and tidy up any loose ends.

Conclusion

Making your own macrame pot plant holder is a fun and creative way to add a touch of style to your home decor. Follow these simple steps and your plants will be hanging in no time!
