DIY Macrame Planter Holder

Hey friends! In this period of self isolation it has become very essential to be engaged in order to stay at home. So, here’s another home decoration blog. I have a lot of plants in my apartment (as shared in my last blog) and they look more beautiful when hung in a macrame planter holders. So, in this blog I will be sharing about how to make one.

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

  • Jute ropes/ threads of your choice (thread should be durable and could be tied, avoid plastic)
  • Scissor
  • Colorful beads
  • Plant pot
  • A key ring

Step 1: Cut jute threads approx. ten-twelve inches in length and twelve in count.

Step 2: Make a knot at one end leaving an inch from one end.

Step 3: Separate all the threads in pairs. There will be total of six pairs. Make a knot at all the pairs towards the bigger knot.

Step 4: Take a single thread from adjacent pairs and tie them. For the threads at the extreme ends- tie them together. Insert a bead on the knots.

Step 5: Place your planter at the centre of the biggest knot and continue tying knots taking threads from adjacent pairs and placing beads on them.

Step 6: Continue tying threads from adjacent pairs if you have a bigger pot. Take all the threads towards the other end and tie a big knot. Voila! your macrame planter hanger is ready.

Step 7: Tie a ring or a keychain at the end and use it to hang it.

You can use them to hang planters both indoors as well as outdoors, they look beautiful and most of the supplies are available easily. Hope you liked it and will try making one.
