Your wood should be lengthened. To determine the size you need to cut, measure the interior of your window frame. My slice was 30 inches wide. Its size is little less than the window frame.
Make rope-holes. Where the holes are placed on your pieces of wood is a matter of preference. I decided to place the corners 1 inch from each edge. A 1/2 inch drill bit was employed. Make use of a drill bit that snugly fits your rope.
Make pot hole drillings. Determine the number of pots you want on each tier. Between the holes made for the rope, evenly space them. Ensure that the board’s holes are centered. If you don’t have a hole saw bit or don’t want to spend the money on one, holes can be made by hand using a jigsaw. I drilled holes to accommodate 4-inch terra-cotta pots using a 3 3/8-inch hole saw bit.
Make it smooth. Sand the interior of the holes for the rope and terra-cotta pots using the coarse-grit sandpaper. I sanded by rolling the sand paper up to fit it into the rope holes. made my life a lot simpler! * If you’re sanding the surface of the boards, be sure to work with the grain of the wood! Refine your work with smooth grit sandpaper to leave a good finish.
Stain your entire heart. Before staining, use a moist cloth to remove any sanding dust from the boards. Before applying stain, let the wood dry. Apply the stain of your choice according to the application directions.
Knot your ties. Greetings, boring part of this project. Tie knots beneath each board, beginning with the top board. Consistent space should be maintained between each board. If the spacing is constant, it’s alright if it’s not ideal right now because it will save you time later. Each whole shelf should have lengthy ends at the bottom to accommodate adjustments.
Post it up. I had to take down the blinds on my windows in order to hang my shelves. You might need to do this as well. Glue your eye hooks to the window’s frame. Make sure the eye hooks are in the stud above the window or in the window frame itself. If you drill a pilot hole that is just a little bit smaller than the eye hook, installing eye hooks will be simpler. Look into an anchor bolt for the wall that will hold the weight you require if you are not hanging from a stud.

It’s time to get your shelves now! The length of your shelves should be determined by the size of your space. Your shelves will be longer if your room is larger. Since the Fit Foodie workplace is on the smaller side, we bought 36 white floating shelves from Overstock. However, shelving is essentially available everywhere. Simply check the depth of the shelves you purchase. In order to have adequate room for the pots, I suggest looking for shelves that are at least 8 deep (ours are 10).
How should hanging plants be displayed?
5. Drape around a shower… If the shower wall falls short of the ceiling, a solid shower wall (rather than a glass screen) is a great place for trailing plants.
Here, a hanging succulent has been added to a plain window box that has been positioned on top of the wall and blends in with the white tiles. If there is even a remote chance that the box could topple over, think about screwing it into the top of the wall.
Succulents thrive in humid environments (though they don’t require a lot of watering) and frequently do well in bathrooms or showers. To keep them at their happiest, plant them on soil that has plenty of grit and drainage.

Step 1Cut the rope to size
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.
