How to DIY a Macrame Plant Hanger
MATERIALS NEEDED (contains my affiliate links):
Rope (6mm): https://amzn.to/3e5ALpT
Fine yarn/embroidery thread--I used this box of yarn (109 color pack): https://amzn.to/2AAv7i6
Carabiner rings (1 ½ inch): https://amzn.to/2Dct2K8
Glue gun (I used my beloved Ryobi glue gun: https://amzn.to/2VKEcfl)
Pots (6"-8" in diameter)--I used these pots: https://rstyle.me/+7glV9NSrSy2kMjrAAF...
Measuring tape
STEPS:
1) Roll out your first rope section and measure to the length you want your hanger. My long plant hangers are 40” inches. I made the one in the middle shorter for some variety, but didn’t measure. Then double your rope without cutting. Repeat this 4 times to create 8 pieces (4 loops).
2) Put the ring through loops at the top. Cut the bottom--that will eventually create the tassel.
3) Now it is time to start wrapping your colored thread/yarn. Tie your rope together with one piece of thread (see above) to keep it neat and tidy. You can choose your colors and how long each block goes! This part is totally up to you. Use your glue gun to secure the end of your yarn before you start wrapping and again at the end of each color.
4) Move down to the second section you want to be wrapped, making sure you leave lots of room to place your pot. Also, make sure you are leaving room at the bottom for your rope ends to hang with a tassel effect.
5) Hang up your DIY macrame plant hangers and pop in your pots! We used a curtain rod to hang ours from so they are in a line. I love that they are hanging at different lengths–it gives even more visual interest. This looks beautiful on our back deck and fills this large wall perfectly!
And that's it! A super simple DIY that looks incredibly high end. I really love how these turned out, and they look amazing all hanging together. Y'all know there is nothing that makes me happier than a pop of color!
