Easy DIY Gardening Hanger Tutorial81

Who needs store-bought plant hangers when you can make your own with a few simple supplies and a little bit of creativity? These easy-to-follow instructions will show you how to make a simple macrame plant hanger that's perfect for adding a touch of greenery to any room. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover yarn.

Materials You'll Need:
Macrame cord (about 50-75 feet, depending on the desired length of the hanger)
Scissors
Measuring tape or ruler
Wooden ring or dowel (optional)
Pot or planter for your plant

Instructions:
Cut the cords. Cut eight strands of macrame cord, each about 10 feet long. Fold the cords in half and gather them together at the top. Tie a lark's head knot around the wooden ring or dowel. This will create the loop that you'll hang the hanger from.
Divide the cords into four groups. Divide the eight strands of cord into four equal groups of two. Each group will form one leg of the hanger.
Tie the square knots. Starting with one leg, tie a square knot with the two cords. Repeat this process with the other three legs. This will create the top row of knots.
Tie the half square knots. Take the two outer cords from one leg and cross them over the two center cords. Then, take the two cords that are now on the outside and cross them over the two cords that are now in the center. Pull the cords tight to create a half square knot. Repeat this process with the other three legs. This will create the second row of knots.
Continue tying knots. Continue alternating between square knots and half square knots until the hanger is the desired length. You can adjust the length by adding or removing rows of knots.
Tie the cords together. Once the hanger is the desired length, tie the four groups of cords together at the bottom. You can use a square knot or a half square knot. Trim any excess cord.
Insert the pot or planter. Insert the pot or planter into the hanger. Make sure that the pot is secure and won't fall out.

Tips:
Use different colors of macrame cord to create a more unique hanger.
Add beads or other embellishments to the hanger for a more personalized look.
If you don't have a wooden ring or dowel, you can use a piece of cardboard or a sturdy piece of fabric as the base of the hanger.
If you're new to macrame, there are plenty of online tutorials that can help you learn the basic knots.
