How to Make Rope Plant Pot Holders

If you’re looking for a unique and stylish way to display your houseplants, then making a rope plant pot holder is an excellent option. These holders are aesthetically pleasing, and they allow you to hang your plants from the ceiling or on the wall. Plus, crafting your own plant pot holder can be a fun and relaxing activity. Here’s how to make a rope plant pot holder that you can be proud of:

Materials Needed:

Cotton rope of desired length (6-10mm thickness recommended)

Scissors

A plant pot

Step 1 - Cut the Rope

Cut four pieces of cotton rope to your desired length. Each piece should be approximately double the length that you want your final plant pot holder to be. For example, if you want your holder to be 50cm long, cut each piece of rope to 100cm.

Step 2 - Tie the Knots

Fold each piece of rope in half, and then tie a knot at the folded end of each piece. This will create a loop for your plant pot to sit in. Arrange the rope so that the four knots are at equal distances, and parallel to each other.

Step 3 - Braid the Rope

Take one of the sections of rope, and work from the knot downwards, braiding the rope. Do the same for each of the other three sections of rope. You should now have four separate but equal braids.

Step 4 - Combine the Braids

Next, take two of the braids and knot them together. Repeat this process with the other two braids. Then knot the two sets of braids together so that you have one continuous piece of rope that is now doubled in thickness.

Step 5 - Create the Hanging Loop

Using the remaining sections of rope, tie a knot a few inches above the top knot on the braided rope section. Braid the remaining rope section for approximately 10cm and then tie a knot. Trim off any excess rope. You now have a looped section of rope for hanging your plant pot holder.

Step 6 - Insert the Plant Pot

Insert your plant pot into the four loops that you created at the beginning of this project. Adjust the position of the loops as needed so that the pot is level.

Step 7 - Hang Your Plant Pot Holder

The last step is to hang your plant pot holder from the ceiling or wall using the loop that you created in step 5. You can add more knot and braid designs to the rope, or even add colorful threads to create a more personalized piece.

Congratulations, you’ve just created a beautiful and functional rope plant pot holder! Not only are plant pot holders an excellent way to display your houseplants, but crafting your own can be a fun and creative outlet that allows you to express your own unique style.
