In an era where urban jungles are the new home aesthetic, and green is the new black, plant hangers are a home décor must-have! But why spend your money on store-bought versions when you can craft your own in a jiffy? Here's the simplest, most beginner-friendly DIY plant hanger guide you'll ever need. Perfect for seasoned DIYers and novices alike!
What You'll Need:
- Cotton
cord or twine (about 10-15 feet).

potted plant.

Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Cut Four Equal Lengths of Cord:
Take the cotton cord and cut it into four equal lengths.
Approximately 3-4 feet each should suffice, but you can adjust based on your
desired final length.
2. Fold & Knot:
Fold the lengths in half and create a simple overhand knot
to form a loop at the top. This is where you'll hang your plant from. If you
have a wooden or metal ring, slide the folded cords through the ring first, and
then make the knot.
3. Group & Tie:
About a foot down from the initial knot, tie two adjacent
cords together with a basic knot, leaving a small loop. Repeat this process for
the remaining cords, ensuring the loops are approximately the same size. You'll
end up with four knots.
4. The Second Tier of Knots:
About 4-6 inches below your first set of knots, take one
string from one pair and tie it to a string from an adjacent pair. This will
create a net-like structure for your pot to rest in.
5. Secure The Bottom:
Gather all the cords and tie one big knot at the bottom,
ensuring the distance between the second tier of knots and this large knot will
comfortably cradle your plant pot.
6. Time to Hang!
Place your potted plant into the netting and hang your new
creation using the loop (or ring) at the top. Adjust as needed to ensure the
pot sits securely.
Voilà! Your Handmade Plant Hanger is Ready!
The beauty of this design is its adaptability. You can play
around with the colors of your cords, add beads, or incorporate different knots
