How to Make a Macrame Plant Hanger: A Step-by-Step Video Tutorial183


Macrame is a beautiful and versatile knotting technique that can be used to create a variety of decorative items, including plant hangers. This step-by-step video tutorial will show you how to make a macrame plant hanger that is both stylish and functional.

Materials You'll Need:


* 1/4" macrame cord (approximately 50-60 feet)
* Scissors
* Measuring tape
* Ring or hook for hanging

Step-by-Step Instructions:


1. Cut your cords. You will need four cords, each measuring approximately 12 feet long.
2. Create the lark's head knots. Fold each cord in half and make a lark's head knot around the ring or hook. This will create the loops that will hold your plant.
3. Divide the cords into groups. Divide the eight cords into four groups of two cords each.
4. Create the square knots. Take the left cord from Group 1 and cross it over the right cord from Group 2. Then, take the right cord from Group 1 and cross it over the left cord from Group 2. Pull the cords tight to create a square knot.
5. Repeat step 4. Repeat step 4 until you have created 10 square knots.
6. Create the half square knots. Take the left cord from Group 1 and cross it over the two cords from Group 2. Then, take the right cord from Group 1 and cross it over the left cord from Group 2. Pull the cords tight to create a half square knot.
7. Repeat step 6. Repeat step 6 until you have created 5 half square knots.
8. Repeat steps 4-7 for the other three groups. Repeat steps 4-7 for the other three groups of cords.
9. Create the gathering knot. Take the two cords from Group 1 and tie them together with a gathering knot. This will gather the top of the plant hanger together. Repeat this step for the other three groups of cords.
10. Trim the cords. Trim the excess cords from the bottom of the plant hanger.

Tips:


* Use a thicker cord if you want a sturdier plant hanger.
* You can adjust the length of the plant hanger by adding or subtracting cords.
* Be sure to pull the cords tight when you tie the knots. This will help to create a secure and durable plant hanger.

Variations:


* You can use different colors of cord to create a more colorful plant hanger.
* You can add beads or other embellishments to the plant hanger.
* You can use the same technique to create other macrame items, such as wall hangings or jewelry.
With a little practice, you'll be able to create beautiful and unique macrame plant hangers that will add a touch of style to your home.
