DIY Macrame Plant Hangers

Macrame has long been my favorite fiber art.  Although there are some crazy complex macrame pieces out there, when it comes down to it, you’re just tying knots!  Making macrame plant hangers are similar to making friendship bracelets except on a slightly larger scale and at the end of the summer you don’t have to cut them off.  This project is great for beginngers and advanced fiber artists alike (yes, you’ll be a fiber artist if you create one of these plant hangers 😉 ) because you can tie a couple familiar knots or mess around with complex combinations of knots – it’s totally up to you.  I’m basically giving you an outline of how to make a plant hanger, but I want you to flex your creative muscles and make it your own unique macrame piece.  I wouldn’t mind seeing a few of the finished pieces either, so feel free to tag us.
