Saving Space one Hanger at a time

Creating one of our plants can be so rewarding, and you may find yourself wondering the best way to display your new creation! There are many options where you can put your crochet plants, like: Hanging in your office, on your desk, above your sink, or on a window seal or shelf. The options really are endless!

Have you ever had that feeling of wanting to display something that your proud of or brings you joy only to find out you don't know where you have the space for it?

If you are like me, I love saving space. I get overwhelmed with too many items being collected on my countertops, shelves, and desk. It clutters your space and your mind.

That is why I adore making these simple macrame hangers for my crochet plants that can be found in my shop, or you can even follow along to create your very own hanger for any houseplant you may have!

Take a look at how a hanger can transform any plant into an easy to hang and display option and keep those counters free from clutter!

You can even add fringe along the bottom of your hanger for the perfect trendy boho look! You can use anything to create the hanger such as: macrame cording, thin rope, yarn, or even Suede cording. Let's get started!

Materials:

• I prefer 1mm macrame cording in the color natural or 2.6mm flat Suede cording

• Scissors

• Any embellishment you desire for an accent.

• "S" hooks

Start:

Grab your cording and cut 8 pieces that measure 24" in length. Place all cut pieces evenly together and tie a knot about 1" from the end.(Fig. 1) Separate your strands into 4 groups with each group having two strands. Tie a knot in each group about 1" above your initial knot.(Fig. 2) Grab one strand from each of the groups that neighbor each other and tie one last knot about 1" up from your last knot (Fig. 3)

Place your potted plant into your hanger, making sure all of your strings are even and your plant is sitting straight, tie a tight knot in the loose ends part of your hanger(top part),leaving a loop. Cut off any tails poking out.(Fig. 4, 5)

Adding Fringe:

If you want to add fringe to the bottom of your hanger, I recommend using macrame cording due to how it flows whenever it hangs, as well as, the perfect boho look. After my hanger was created, I started off by cutting 24" pieces. You are going to need a lot of them!

Now, you will use a Lark's Head Knot to attach your cut macrame cording to the bottom row on your pot. Once attached all the way around, I take scissors and cut the bottom strings to match my desired length, while making sure all fringe is even.

Lark's Head Knot:

For a Lark's Head Knot, you will fold one 24" piece of your macrame cording in half. Place the loop over and behind where you will be attaching it to. (Fig. 6) Place your two pieces of cording (the tail) through the loop. (Fig. 7) Pull tight to perform the Lark's Head Knot. (Fig. 8)

You will continue doing this all the way around your hanger. (Fig. 9,10,11)

Once you finish going all the way around, you can trim the ends to desired look and length. (Fig. 12)

You can change the length of your hanger by just adding another 12" to your length of each piece, or whatever you desire. Most importantly, have fun! I would love to see what YOU decide to hang with your macrame hanger!
