Project: Creating a Simple Macrame Plant Hanger. This project requires minimal materials and is a great way to add a touch of bohemian style to your home. Let's get started!
Materials You'll Need: Macrame cord (approximately 50 feet, 4mm thickness recommended) Scissors A measuring tape or ruler A metal or wooden ring (2-3 inches in diameter) A pot with a plant (to test the hanger's size and strength)
Step 1: Cutting the Cords. Cut four lengths of macrame cord, each approximately 12.5 feet long (150 inches). Accuracy here will help with a more uniform final product.
Step 2: Attaching the Cords to the Ring. Fold all four cords in half. Take the folded ends and loop them over the ring. Pull the loose ends of the cords through the loop you've created, securing them to the ring. This is called a lark's head knot. You should now have eight strands hanging down from the ring.
Step 3: Creating the Knots. Divide the eight strands into four groups of two. Take each group and tie a square knot about 2-3 inches below the ring. To tie a square knot: take the left strand and cross it over the right strand. Then, take the right strand and cross it under the left strand. Pull tight. Next, take the right strand and cross it over the left strand. Then, take the left strand and cross it under the right strand. Pull tight. Repeat this knot on all four pairs.
Step 4: Creating the Second Row of Knots. Now, take one strand from one group and one strand from an adjacent group. Tie a square knot with these two strands, approximately 2-3 inches below the first row of knots. Repeat this process around the hanger, connecting each adjacent pair.
Step 5: Creating Subsequent Rows. Continue tying rows of square knots, using strands from adjacent groups, until the hanger is long enough to accommodate your pot. The number of rows will depend on the size of your pot. A good rule of thumb is to knot until it's about 2/3rds the height of your pot.
Step 6: Creating the Basket (Gathering Knots). Gather all the strands together at the bottom, below the last row of knots. Tie a large gathering knot with all the strands to secure the pot. You can also use a few more square knots here to further secure the base. Trim the excess cord below the gathering knot, leaving about 4-6 inches of fringe, or longer if you prefer.
Step 7: Adding Your Pot and Plant. Carefully place your pot into the hanger. Adjust the knots and strands as needed to ensure the pot sits securely.
Conclusion: Admire Your Handiwork! Congratulations, you've created your own macrame plant hanger! Now, find the perfect spot to display your beautiful creation and enjoy the touch of handmade charm it brings to your space. Feel free to experiment with different colors, cord thicknesses, and knot patterns to create unique variations.
