Macrame plant hanger has become a popular craft in recent years, and for good reason. This form of textile, produced using knotting techniques, can be used to create beautiful art for the home. After scouring the internet for tutorials and inspiration, I stumbled upon an excellent article by Katrina Johnston from Simply Frayed. Her step-by-step guide on “How to Make a Macrame Plant Hanger (For Beginners)” was incredibly helpful, and I’m excited to share what I learned from her tutorial.

The following are the steps to achieve the macrame plant hanger:
Cut 8 pieces of rope, with 4 short pieces (40 inches halved) and 4 long pieces (75 inches halved). Place the ropes on the ring, alternating between short and long ropes.

Use a 30-inch-long rope to tie a gathering knot, securing the ropes to the ring. This knot is essential to keeping your plant hanger stable.

Separate the ropes into four groups and tie spiral knots using the longer ropes. This will create the foundation of your plant hanger’s pattern.

Tie square knots under each spiral knot, then connect sections with square knots to create a diamond pattern. This will add texture and visual interest to your plant hanger.

Tie a second gathering knot at the bottom of the plant hanger, securing the ropes in place.

Trim the rope to the desired length, and your Macrame Plant Hanger is complete! You can adjust the length to fit your plant pot.

Creating a macrame plant hanger is a fun and cost-effective DIY project that can add a personal touch to your home decor. Not only can you customize the design and length to fit your style, but you also get the satisfaction of creating something with your hands. Of course, if you’re short on time or not feeling crafty, you can always opt for a premade Macrame Plant Hanger.
