Crafting Comfort: How to Make a Macrame Hanging Basket
Macrame hanging baskets are a great way to add a cozy touch to any room. Let’s learn how to make one ourselves!
Gather your materials
To start your macrame hanging basket project, gather the following materials: a wooden or metal ring, cotton macrame cord, scissors, and a plant pot.
Cut your macrame cord
Cut several pieces of macrame cord to your desired length. These will be the strands that make up the body of your hanging basket.
Tie the cords to the ring
Attach the cords to the wooden or metal ring using a basic knot like a lark’s head knot. Make sure to evenly space out the cords around the ring.
Start your macrame pattern
Once your cords are attached to the ring, begin your macrame pattern. You can choose from various knots like the square knot, half-hitch knot, or spiral knot.
Create a basket shape
Continue knotting your cords in your chosen pattern to create the body of the hanging basket. You can make it as long or as short as you like.
Finish off your project
Once you’ve reached your desired length, tie off the ends of your cords and trim any excess. Place your plant pot inside the macrame hanging basket and hang it up in your favorite room.
Enjoy your handmade creation
Admire your handiwork and enjoy the cozy vibes that your macrame hanging basket brings to your space. You can also experiment with different colors and patterns to create a unique look that fits your style. Happy crafting!
