Simple Plant Hanger Tutorial

This is the very first time i tried anything like this, so bare with me. I totally pulled a method out of my butt. I plan on getting way better at this.


1. Collect scissors, a flower pot and your string of choice. I chose hemp because it looks nice, its sturdy, easy to tie and its thick

2. Gather 6 strings and tie them together. The length depends on how low you want to hang it.
3. For my flower pot specifically, i moved the knot on top and gathered 3 sets of 2 strings together and rested them in each notch.

4. (taping the knot down helps). Knot the 2 strings together, preferably at the top of the pot.


5. Do this to each set while also regrouping and taping the strings at the bottom as shown.


6. Attach a colored fabrico r string and begin to braid within the hemp.
7. Then replace the tape at the bottom with thread. Tie the thread around the hemp to hold it together. 


8. Gather and knot at the top in a loop and hang.
