Macrame Hanging Plants

Hanging plants is a great way to add some greenery to your space. Putting them in your room, on your desk, or even hanging them on the wall is a cool way to do it.

Making your own hanging plants is a cool way to add creativity to your green thumb skills. There are many ways to make your own hanging plants, and this article will show you how to make one with macramé!

Macramé is a craft that dates back several centuries. It is the art of creating decorative designs using woven fibers. The fibers can be hemp, jute, or cotton strings, and they are usually dyed prior to weaving them.

This article will show you how to make a simple macramé hanging plant holder.

Find a plant to place in the macrame plant holder

The first step in making a macrame hanging plant holder is to find a plant to put in it. You can use a plant that is already growing, or you can buy a starter plant to put in the holder.

If you are going to use a plant that is already growing, make sure it has roots. If not, you can either take roots off of another plant or buy a potting soil mix to put in the holder to make it look like it has roots.

If you are buying a plant, make sure it is an easy care one. Some plants require lots of sunlight or water, so check on that before buying it!

When putting the plant in the holder, make sure the roots do not wrap around each other. You can separate them with your hands if they do.

Decide how long you want your plant holder to be

First, decide how long you want your hanging plant holder to be. A standard length is about six feet, but make it as short or as long as you want!

This is a great way to use up leftover strings too! Just make sure they are strong enough to hold up your plants.

Try picking different colors of string for aesthetic value or using coordinating colors of plants for a more cohesive look.

Look for a pattern for macrame hanging plants

Once you have your materials, the next step is to find a pattern for macrame hanging plants. There are many websites with patterns and even books that have patterns for macrame plants.

Some of these websites also have videos or pictures of how to complete the plant, which is very helpful. Once you understand the basics, it is easy to add your own touches or change the design.

Many of the plants look similar so it is up to you what kind of plant you want to make! Some even look like they have leaves, which can be fun to make.

There are so many different types of plants you can make, all with different levels of complexity.

Buy the materials needed for the macrame plant holder

First, you will need to go to the arts and crafts store and buy the materials needed to make the plant holder. You will need macrame cotton, a hook, and a jute bag or container to put the plant in. A canning jar or pot works well for the plant container.

The amount of cotton needed depends on the size of your hanging planter. A good rule of thumb is one foot of cotton per inch of hanging planter width. So, a six-inch wide hanging planter would need six feet of cotton.

The hook needs to be a strong one that can hold some weight. It needs to be able to fit into the jute bag or container you chose for the bottom part. Make sure it is sturdy enough or your plant holder will not stay upright!

The jute bags and containers vary in price depending on size and quality. Canning jars and pots for plants also vary in price depending on size and quality.

Know what you’re doing when making a macrame plant holder

While these look cool, it is important to note that if you do not know what you are doing, you could end up with a plant holder that harms your plant or does not hold up well.

There are many videos and posts online that tell you how to make a macrame hanging plant holder, so find one that looks similar to the one you want to make and see if they explain the steps well.

Once you have learned how to make one, then you can try making some different styles! There are many different shapes and designs of macrame plants holders, so experiment and see what looks best with your plant(s).

Take your time when making a macrame plant holder

While these look really cool, you should take your time to make them. Making them takes several hours, and it is best to not rush this process.

Many people have reported having difficulty with the very first step of making the plant hanger. This is because you have to figure out how to weave the strings into a circle shape.

Once you get this down, then you can start adding in the flowers!

Hopefully you won’t have too much trouble with this project, and you will be able to enjoy making it while watching your favorite shows or listening to music. It is nice to take your time when working on projects like this.

If you find yourself getting frustrated, then take a break! Come back to it later with a fresh mind. You will be able to finish it then.

Make sure the plants are stable before hanging them

Once your plant is ready, make sure it is stable before hanging it. A plant can look beautiful hanging, but if it falls, it can be very bad.

Make sure the roots are well-taken care of and have enough soil to stay stable. If you need to add more soil, do so carefully!

Check the vine structure as well to make sure it is sturdy. The thicker and stronger the vine structure is, the more safe your hanging plant will be.

Hanging plants can be a great way to add some green to your space.

Hang your beautiful macrame plant holders!

Once your plant holder is complete, you can hang it anywhere. Try hanging it in your kitchen as a garden above your stove, on a door frame or wall, or even from the ceiling!

It can also be placed outside in a garden or on a porch. It looks great either way.
