I have never been a knitter, weaver or crocheter. The patterning structure was too rigid for me. I don’t want to follow instructions, I have to feel it in the moment! These macrame hanging planters are perfect for types like me! I don’t even know if it can be considered macrame since my method is literally 9 knots and can be done in 15 mins and has 3 materials - The rope, the pot and the plant….that’s it!

I used a few you tube tutorials to adopt a look that I liked but here’s the one that I mainly used as reference.

material list: Rope 3/8” gage (approx. 14 feet), 7” tall ceramic pot and base, plant

Step 1: cut 4 long pieces of rope at 42” long each

Step 2: Find the mid point of the rope (21”) and mark with a pen

Step 3: Intersect the mid points of the 4 pieces of rope (refer back to your marked mid point). And place pot and base in on the interested mid points.

Step 4: Take one rope arm and the adjacent rope arm

Step 5: Tie the rope arms two by two.

Step 6: There should be 4 knots total

Step 7: Repeat steps 4-6 but with the other rope arm

Step 8: Ta-da! And then tie a knot at the very top so you can hang your planter!
