DIY Macramé Plant Hangers
If you grew up in the 1970’s, you most likely witnessed gloomy wood-paneled rooms and shag carpet covered in Kool-Aid-like hues. While these trends we are happy to see gone, elements of this decade continue to make a huge comeback in modern home fashion. We are pleased to report that macramé plant hangers are one of those trends! They bring an accent of 70’s nostalgia to a fresh, contemporary interior, adding both texture and shape! Make your very own in 7 easy steps!

Steps
1. Cut the rope into four equal pieces that are 65” each in length.
2. Hold all the ropes together and fold in half.
3. A few inches below the fold, tie a knot and pull tight.
4. Hang the rope on a doorknob or have a friend hold the knot.
5. Take two pieces of rope and tie a knot, repeating until you have a total of four. Make sure all the knots line up and aren’t too close to the main one at the top.
