Macrame is a fun and easy way to add a touch of bohemian flair to your home and garden space. In this quick video tutorial, we will show you step-by-step how to make your own macrame plant hanger, perfect for displaying your favorite plants.

Materials Required:* Macrame cord (at least 50 feet)
* Scissors
* Measuring tape or ruler
* Beads (optional)

Step 1: Measure and Cut the Cords* Cut four pieces of macrame cord, each measuring approximately 12 feet long.
* Fold each cord in half and create a loop at the top. This will be the hanger that attaches to the ceiling hook.

Step 2: Create the Square Knots* Take two cords and make a left-hand knot, then a right-hand knot. Repeat this process until you have a total of five square knots.
* Repeat the same process with the remaining two pairs of cords.

Step 3: Attach the Cords to the Hanger Loop* Gather all four cords together and thread them through the hanger loop.
* Tie a simple overhand knot to secure them.

Step 4: Create the Rope Coils* Starting with one pair of cords, make a loop and pull it through the next pair of cords.
* Repeat this process with the remaining pairs of cords.

Step 5: Add Beads (Optional)* If desired, you can add beads to the rope coils by threading them onto the cords before pulling them through.

Step 6: Create More Square Knots* Continue creating square knots below the rope coils until you reach the desired length of the plant hanger.

Step 7: Finishing the Hanger* Gather all four cords together and tie an overhand knot at the bottom to create a tassel.
* Trim any excess cords.

Step 8: Hang Your Plant* Find a suitable ceiling hook and hang your macrame plant hanger.
* Place your favorite plant inside the hanger and enjoy your DIY creation!

Tips:* Use a variety of colors and textures of macrame cord for a unique look.
* Experiment with different knot patterns to create different designs.
* Adjust the length of the plant hanger to accommodate different plant sizes and heights.
* You can add additional decorations such as feathers or charms to personalize your hanger.
