                    DIY MACRAME POT PLANT HANGER - STEP BY STEP MANUAL

• Step 1: list of material

- 4x 600cm (6.5yd) cord - 4x 280cm (3yd) cord - 2x 50cm (in) cord (for the wrapped knots) - 1x metal ring - 4x wooden beads

• Step 2: top wrapped knot

At the beginning, the cords are going to be long and it can get a little tricky; I recommend you secure the ring to a hook, door handle, window handle, etc... it will take some frustration away and insure your knots are consistent throughout the project.

• Step 3: First row of square knots

You will now have to form 4 groups of 4 cords: 2 long cords and 2 anchor cords each time.

• Step 4: wooden beads

It’s now time to incorporate the beads into your macrame project.

• Step 5: second row of square knots

We are now going to tie another 20cm of square knots on all 4 groups of cords just as we did in Step 3. The first knot is going to be a little trickier because of the bead; just make sure the knot is nice and tight around the bead.

Repeat the operation until you have tied 20cm of square knots on each of the 4 groups of cords. When you are done your macrame should look like the following picture.

• Step 6: Josephine knots

It’s time to start the base of your pot holder (the part that is going to wrap around and underneath the pot). In this step we are going to tie 4 Josephine knots 10cm down from the bottom of the square knots with 4 cords each.

Finishing a macrame hanger

Note that I used a synthetic cord for an outdoor plant hanger, if you are using cotton cord (or any other natural material) you won't be able to stop the ends of your cords from unravelling by heating them (you'll just burn the cord). I recomend you put a little dab of glue on each of the ends for natural fibers.
