I think I've caught a "macrame" bug since the first macrame that I made a few weeks ago. I just simply love it! This week I decided to make a simple macrame plant hanger. If you've never tried it, I really encourage you to try it out! You might fall in love with the process!

This macrame plant hanger is so simple and easy to make, it probably took me 30 mins from start to finish.

I was inspired by the one I saw at Anthropologie, which cost almost $80. Whattt? The full cost of mine is no more than $3. I buy this 4mm cotton cord in rolls of 220 yard and I used just a fraction from it to make this hanger.

Watch a video of how I made this simple macrame plant hanger HERE

Time spent: 30 mins

Cost: $3

Level: beginner

You could go a bit fancy and add these cool metal rings on the top, but I was so eager to start that didn't want to wait for one to arrive. Talking about patience here, haha

To make this simple macrame plant hanger you need to know only 2 types of knots. The first one is a loop knot, the other one is familiar since last time, the square knot. And also you'd make a half square knot, which makes this cute little wave, but it's technically just an unfinished square knot.

Materials

  • 4 mm cotton cord
  • a hook for the ceiling

Instructions

1. First, we need to cut 6 ropes, 12 feet each. My simple macrame planter came out to be 2.5' long. If you want to make a longer one, you'd need a longer rope. Also, if you want to make a longer version, but with 4 parts, you'd need to add 2 more ropes (12" each).

2. When you have all your ropes together, find the middle and fold it, create a loop knot.

3. Divide your ropes into 3 parts (4 cords each) and make square knots. Mine are probably 5in in length.

4. You need to skip about 8" inches  (I used scissors to determine the length of the gap) and start making half square knots. It will start folding in, creating a nice-looking string. I'd continue for about 4".

5. The next step is to repeat the same half square knot for 2", skipping about 4-5 in between.

6. I measured the planter and made square knots in the middle, but combining ropes from different sides. After that, I took the planter pot, put it in, and measured how much rope I'll need to finish it off. When I determined my "bottom point", I took off the planter and made a loop knot in the bottom.

And you are done!

It's simple and beautiful and I'm so happy with the way it turned out! I might have to get a different plant since this one doesn't hang as much as I'd like it to.

So here we go, now you can go and make a simple macrame plant hanging for $3, instead of buying one for almost $100.

Good luck and if you make one, share it with me! I love to see your creations.

DIY single mom | 📍CT
Hi 👋🏻 I haven't done this in awhile so thoug Hi 👋🏻
I haven't done this in awhile so thought I'd introduce myself.

Im a DIYer by passion, art business MA by education. 

I came to USA from Russia 13 years ago. I had an itching urge for adventures 😅

I lived in NYC for the most part and worked at the auction house till I had kids and had to move and adjust to suburban life. 

My passion for DIY started when I had my first baby and saw a Montessori baby gym. So I thought.. I probably can make it too! 

And I did 😅 

When we already moved to CT, I saw a Montessori floor house bed that was well over my budget, so I thought I'd try it out too... 

That's when I got my first power tools as an anniversary gift and the rest was history😂

Now I'm a single mom to 2 little girls (Sasha and Sia) and a beautiful long coat German Shepard puppy, named Drogo (after khal Drogo from GOT😁)

We bought our first house in the summer - a 1900s beauty so I had to switch gears from woodworking and start working on room renovations, to make this house our home. 

The progress is very slow, since life always gets on the way🤦🏻‍♀️ but my motto is progress, even slow is better than nothing. 

I can't wait to get a shed so I can pick up my woodworking projects again. Working out of my porch in the winter is not pleasant 🥶

Thank you for following my journey, now tell me something about yourself!

Haha so here is a thing... I'm not sure how often Haha so here is a thing... I'm not sure how often you wash your hair, but I do it every 4-5 days. And my entire schedule depends on a "hair day"🤣

I'd never do a workout or a messy project if I just did my hair that morning😁 

Making videos every day with fresh hair is quite hard lol 

Now I'm trying out a new thing... I make "lifestyle", nice reels on my hair day and leave all messy projects for "not a hair day" 🙈😁

Can you relate? Or am I the only one?😁
Would you ever do a workout or a messy project if you just did your hair in the morning? 😅
