Ever wanted to make your own macramé plant hanger? We’ll teach you how to make one in this video using just three types of simple knots including a loop knot, square knot, and half-square knot.
Materials:
• 8 pieces of 15 foot long cotton cord (3.1mm thick)
• 2” brass ring
• 2 pieces of 5 foot cord
Steps:
1. Gather all 8 pieces of cord, fold in half and loop through the ring.
2. Using your 5 foot long piece of string, tie a loop knot right below the ring.
3. Take four strands and tie a square knot. Repeat 6 times.
4. Repeat this pattern with the next group of 4 cords, and repeat for the remaining cords.
5. Leave a 2 ½ inch gap and tie a half square knot.
6. Repeat until you’ve created a 5 inch spiral.
7. Repeat this pattern for the remaining knot groups.
8. Leave a 6 inch gap and create a crossover square knot using the 2 right cords from your first group and the 2 left cords from the adjacent group.
9. Repeat for the remaining knot groups.
10. Leave 6 inch gap and create another crossover square knot by alternating the cords from the previous step.
11. Leave a 3 ½ inch gap and and tie a loop knot.
12. Trim off excess cord to create a tassel finish.
Good luck and have fun!
