DIY Chunky Rope Pot Plant Hanger...

Let's create a cool chunky rope uptake on the macrame style pot plant hanger...
You will need 8mm rope, 18cm plastic pot, a plant, and a carabiner clip.


Hang the carabiner from the ceiling using another strong hook. This planter is on my covered deck so I hung it from a rafter.






Cut four lengths of rope at 3600mm each.
Thread each length through carabiner half way, so you have 8 lengths each at 1800mm. Make a large knot at the base of the Carabiner.






Take two ropes and knot together at about 250mm from the top knot...






Do this again but at about 150mm down from the first row of knots.
You now have two rows of knots at shown.
Split the rope as shown...






By taking one rope from each of two knots next to each other.
Then at about 200mm make four knots. This is where the pot will sit.






Check pot position. And tie a big knot at the base of the pot.






I used Scaevola as the plant in my hanger. Scaevola almost has an interesting succulent like foliage...and is HARDY! I'm hoping this means I will not manage to kill it.






I may need to make a few more Chunky Rope Pot Plant Hangers, because I love the look of them. They would make a great housewarming gift.
