Elevate your indoor jungle with handcrafted bohemian plant hangers featuring natural wooden beads and organic cotton rope.

  • Materials Needed: Natural cotton macrame rope, large wooden hanging ring, unfinished wooden beads with large drill holes, measuring tape, sharp scissors.
  • Step-by-Step Instructions:
    1. Cut eight equal lengths of cotton macrame rope, measuring approximately 12 feet each.
    2. Fold the ropes in half and pull the center loop through the wooden hanging ring, securing it with a gathered wrapping knot.
    3. Divide the ropes into four sections of four strands each and tie spiral or square knots down each section.
    4. Thread several natural wooden beads onto the center strands of each leg.
    5. Gather all strands together about 10 inches below the beads and tie a secure gathering knot to form the plant basket base.
    6. Trim the remaining fringe evenly to create a neat tassel.
  • Tips & Variations: Stain the wooden beads in contrasting dark walnut wood stain for a striking two-tone look.
  • Styling Ideas: Hang near a sunny living room window holding a trailing cascading trailing ivy or string-of-hearts plant.
