Adding greenery to your home can brighten up any space and make it more inviting. If you have limited floor space, hanging plants can be a great option to bring some color and freshness into your room. Making your own hanging plant pot holder is easy and fun. Here are the steps to follow:
Materials
You will need the following materials:
Macrame cord or rope
Scissors
Wooden or metal hoop
Plant pot
Plant
Instructions
1. Measure and cut four pieces of Macrame cord or rope, each measuring 2.5 meters long.
2. Tie the four cords together using an overhand knot, leaving about 10cm of free end at the bottom.
3. Spread out the four cords evenly and attach them to the wooden or metal hoop by folding the group of cords in half and pulling the folded end through the hoop. Then pull the free ends of the cords through the loop created by the folded part, tighten and pull down, ensuring that the hoop is centered on the cords.
4. Separate the cords into pairs and tie a knot, about 10cm below the hoop. Ensure that each pair of cords is tied to the neighboring pair, and that the knots are equidistant from each other.
5. Take one cord from each adjacent knot and tie them together in another knot, approximately 8cm below the first knot. Again, ensure that the knots are equidistant from each other.
6. Repeat the previous step, using cords from different pairs and tying them together until you reach the end of the cords. Leave a small amount of free cord at the bottom.
7. Slip the plant pot inside the knotted holder, ensuring it is balanced and secure.
8. Plant your selected plant into the pot.
9. Hang the holder from a secure point, taking care to make sure the plant pot and holder is balanced and evenly spaced. You can adjust the cords as necessary to make it hang straight.
Conclusion
By following these simple steps, you can create a beautiful hanging plant holder that will brighten up any space in your home. The design can be customized to suit your style and liking, so feel free to experiment with different materials, colors and patterns to make it unique. Happy crafting!
