You will need to cut eight sections of rope into equal lengths in order to make this fashionable yet straightforward rope hanger.
Depending on the particular plant container you have selected, the appropriate length will vary. Generally speaking, the longer your rope needs to be, the bigger the pot. However, you’ll also need to add a bit extra to account for the knots and plenty extra to hang your planter with.
A few inches before the end, secure all eight strands with a tight knot.
Step 2Secure the rope to the base of the pot
Place the knot in the center of the pot after turning it over, and then split the strands into four groups of two. The bottom of the pot will be divided into equal parts as a result.
Small strips of adhesive tape should be used to fix these strands in position. Then, just past the base’s edge, tie a little knot in each group. These knots ought to be apparent once the job is finished and the pot is placed back upright.
Step 3Create the knots
You are now prepared to begin tying the rope plant hanger together. One rope from the first group and one rope from the next group should be taken, and they should be tied together in a knot. Be sure to place this in the middle of the two upper knots. Continue until the first row is finished, traveling all the way around the pot as you go.
Pull the rope very gently to remove any slack, then use a small piece of sticky tape to hold each knot in place. Although the rope will be kept in place by the tape, it will make succeeding rows easier to knot together when it is eventually removed.
Continue by tying the next row of knots in the same manner. Again, the size of your pot will determine how many rows you need. However, we advise leaving a 1/2 inch space between the last row and the top edge for all projects.
Step 4Tie it together and hang
Last but not least, flip the pot over one more and tie the eight rope strands together in a single knot. You can tie the knot at any desired height. Just make sure that all of the ropes are the same length (therefore allowing your pot to hang level). If they are, cut off any extra, and take off all the adhesive tape.
You have a few alternatives for hanging your brand-new macram plant holder. The rope can be hung directly from the screw hook if you like. Alternatively, you could attach the rope to a wooden ring and hang it there for a more tasteful and polished look.

How can a plant be hung without using a drill?
To hold keys or culinary utensils, self-adhesive foam-backed hooks are frequently used on walls. Plants can also be hung from the ceiling without drilling using adhesive hooks.
Adhesive hooks can support up to one pound of weight as long as the surface is clean and smooth. The advantage is that adhesive hooks can be placed wherever you like.
Make sure the hooks you buy will retain an item without sliding off when the hook is turned 90 degrees because the majority of adhesive hooks are made for walls.
