How to Make a DIY Macrame Plant Hanger – Step by Step:
Measure out and cut 3 pieces of cord to 64″ each.
Fold those in half, making sure the ends are even. You’ll now have 6 working strands of cord. (You’ll be trimming the ends once you’re done, so if it’s not perfect, don’t worry. But, it is easier if you start with everything evened out).
If you’re using a wooden ring, now is the time to attach it. There are a lot of ways to do this.
has some great tutorials!
using a ring, you’ll start with a simple over-hand knot, leaving a loop at the top. (See photo)
5. Divide your working cords into 3 groups of 2.
6. Measure about 7 inches down and tie a half knot (like how you’d start tying your shoes) with 2 strands of cord. Then, tie another half knot working in the opposite direction and pull snug. Repeat this on the other 2 sections, keeping your knots even across.
This is what your 2 half knots should look like before you pull them tight.
7. Measure about 6″ from this row of knots, and you’re going to make another set of the same knots, except you’re going to take one cord from 2 different sections and tie them together. (See photo). Repeat this in a circle until each cord is connected all the way around.
Step 7. See how you take one cord from each group? You end with a kind of diamond pattern that makes the hanger more secure.
8. Go down another 6″ and tie one big knot with all 6 cords and trim the ends so they’re even.
This easy DIY macrame plant hanger is about the most basic beginner version you can try. You can scale it up or down if you have a larger or smaller plant you want to hang, but this size is pretty good for your average pot.
