Looking to add a cozy, earthy vibe to your home without spending a fortune on new decor? Try making a DIY Macrame Plant Hanger—it’s a relaxing weekend project that’s beginner-friendly and stylish. Whether you're decorating your living room, kitchen, or even a tiny apartment balcony, this macrame hanger brings that perfect boho flair without much effort.

What’s great? You don’t need to sew a thing. If you can tie knots, you can do this!

🧶 What You’ll Need (and Where to Find It)

Here’s your materials list—most of these can be easily found on Amazon if you want to get everything delivered to your door:

✂️ Prep Work

Step 1: Cut Your Cords

4 long cords: 100 inches each

1 short cord: 24 inches (used for the bottom gathering knot)

Adjust the length depending on how high you want it to hang. Pro tip: Always cut longer than you think you need—you can trim later.

🪢 How to Make Your Macrame Plant Hanger

Step 2: Attach to the Ring

Fold each long cord in half.

Loop the folded ends through your ring using a lark’s head knot.

You’ll now have 8 hanging strands.

Step 3: Pair Up the Cords

Divide the 8 cords into 4 pairs.

These will be your working strands.

Step 4: Tie Square Knots

About 4 inches below the ring, tie a square knot in each pair.

This will start to form the top part of your hanger.

Step 5: Create the Net

Move 4 inches below your square knots.

Take one strand from one pair and one from the next pair to tie new knots between them. This creates the net-like diamond pattern.

Repeat all the way around.

Step 6: Secure the Bottom

Gather all strands about 3 inches below your last row of knots.

Wrap your short 24-inch cord around them tightly (this is called a gathering knot).

Pull tight and tuck the ends in.

Step 7: Style the Bottom

Use your scissors to either trim the cords evenly or leave them uneven for a more boho-fringe vibe.

🌿 Add Your Plant & Hang It

Gently nestle your small potted plant inside the net. Test the balance to make sure it sits snugly, and then hang your creation on a ceiling hook, wall bracket, or even a curtain rod.

🪴 Styling Tips

Minimalist Look: Use white cord + neutral ceramic pot.

Boho Bold: Choose a colorful cord + fun beads + trailing plants like ivy.

Rustic Charm: Add natural wood beads and pair with a terracotta pot.

Space Saver: Hang it in a bathroom, kitchen corner, or near a window where space is tight but light is good.

🌟 Why You’ll Love It

Budget-Friendly: Materials are cheap, especially if you already have some craft supplies at home.

Decor Boost: Adds natural charm and vertical interest to your room.

Stress-Free Crafting: No sewing, no special skills—just soothing, repetitive knotting.

Expandable Skills: Once you get the hang of this, you can try wall hangings, shelves, or double plant holders.
