Macrame Plant Hanger For Beginners (Easy DIY Tutorial!)

Learn how to make a macrame plant hanger for your plants in this step by step DIY tutorial and free pattern for beginners and beyond!

I love making a macrame planter this time of year and adding some greenery to my home decor after a cold, gray winter, don't you?

This boho plant hanger is super beginner friendly. It works really well with a 4 or 5 inch pot, but you can adjust the square knot spacing to accommodate a larger or smaller pot.

SUPPLIES YOU'LL NEED//

- 6 pieces @ 92" long (inside cords)
- 2 pieces @ 146" long (outside cords)
- 2 pieces @ 24" long (wrapping knots)
▶︎ sharp scissors
▶︎ a potted plant in about a 5" pot (can be a bit smaller or bigger)

NOTE ON CORD LENGTHS: I just went in and retested this pattern and made the starting cord lengths shorter- I updated it to the proper lengths in the description so you shouldn't have any wasted cord now. I'm SO SO SORRY about that!!! 😓Thank you!

Back in the day (late 60’s and 70’s) I did a lot of macrame with friends and made a huge plant hanging for my boyfriend that included a round glass table. It took me months! Now here I am 50 years later thinking hmmm, I should make a few simple plant hangers and found you.

I’ve forgotten everything I ever knew and as a visual learner, this is a perfect video!! Thank you for sharing. I’ve subscribed & found your blog. Well done!!! 😊

Made the most beautiful hanger just at the first try. Thank you

I just made this and it turned out fantastic! Much easier than following the instructions in the kit that I ordered.

This was an excellent tutorial. My 15 yr old daughter and I just made it! We had only 1 hiccup. We used 5mm instead of 3mm cord and what happened was after the top swirl/twist and tie off, all the cords were not the same length. So when you said to start the next part, we were like...which ones....but thankfully my brain was functioning properly and we undid the top a bit (undid 9) until all the cords were even on the bottom and so we ended up with less than 25 in the twist. But it came out perfect after that adjustment. Love it! Thank you!💞

I did it! I can’t believe I was able to! I used jute so it was a bit hairier… but worked out well. First project like this. Thank you for the tutorial!!
I did end up slowing down the video to .5 speed for the knots.. that helped a ton 😊

[holliebaker]

Thankyou so much!! I made this today it only took 30 or so minutes! My first time doing macrame and I think I've got a new hobby now 😂. I can't stop saying to my boyfriend how impressed I am with it!
Instead of just 2 rows of knots I did 3, and I like how it looks, like a diamond 😊◇ thanks again! I'll be making more 😍

[jillkerbaugh]

Starting back with macrame after 40+ years. Your tutorial was excellent. I’m anxious to get back into it. Thanks for your help 😊

[sasikala]

Liked the instructions given with the distance between each alternate knot. 👌🏼👍🏻

[theUcane]

I used this technique to replace a hanger on a drying rack that broke under the weight of wet clothes. (Cheap junk, but I didn't want to buy even more plastic!). Thanks for the tutorial. After I was making the knots, I realized, I used the same technique years ago to wrap my headphone cords so they wouldn't crimp or break. LOL at relearning old things. You also conjured some memories of my crafty grandmother. Thanks for the video lesson!

[sunrisemeadow]

Thank you ❤ I got my first macrame plant hanger following your guide 😊

[michellecameron]

My first piece that I have made! Your instructions were clear and easy to follow…. Thank you!

[pepperbeau]

Thank you so much for this clear, easy to follow tutorial. I had to adjust the speed to half to keep up with you LOL. It is a very professional video.

Thank you! Making a Pyrex rooter for my daughter’s 39th birthday as she complimented mine from this design. 🥰❤️🕊🙏🏻
