First, gather your materials. You will need macrame cord, scissors, a measuring tape or ruler, and a dowel rod or other object to hang your plant hanger from.
Next, cut your macrame cord into lengths of 10-12 feet. You will need eight pieces of cord for this project.
Fold each piece of cord in half and tie a lark’s head knot around the dowel rod. This will create a loop at the top of each cord.
Gather the four cords on one side of the dowel rod and tie a square knot. Repeat with the four cords on the other side of the dowel rod. This will create the top of your plant hanger.
Next, divide the eight cords into two groups of four. Tie a square knot with the first two cords in each group. Then, tie a square knot with the next two cords in each group. Repeat this process until you have created a row of four square knots.
Continue tying square knots until your plant hanger reaches the desired length. The length of your plant hanger will depend on the size of your plant and the height of your ceiling.
Once you have reached the desired length, gather all eight cords together and tie a square knot. This will create the bottom of your plant hanger. Trim any excess cord and your plant hanger is complete!
Now you can hang your plant hanger from the dowel rod or other object and enjoy your beautiful new addition to your home.
