What you’ll need:
- Plant of your choice
- Twine
- A steel or wood ring
- Wooden beads
- Scissors
- Ruler
Preliminary Step
Measure your plant from base to the edge of the tallest leaf. You’ll want to make sure you cut long enough twine so the plant will hang.
Instructions
*all measurements based on a 7.5 inch plant
Step 1: Cut 4 pieces of twine at 4 feet long (48 inches)
Step 2: Knot pieces of twine on ring
Do this by doubling the twine and make a loop going over the ring then under and inserting the ends into the loop that was created. Pull through. Make sure lengths on each side of the twine are even. These are called Lark’s Head Knots.
Step 3: Create decorative knots
To recreate these knots lay out the pieces of twine flat. Next create a backwards ‘D’ shape by taking the first string and laying it over the other strings (Picture 3), loop the first string underneath (Picture 4) and pull through ( Picture 5). Repeat once so that there’s a total of two knots. Repeat with the other set of four strings. (Picture 6)
Step 4: Take two strings and tie them together
These knots are the start to creating stability for your hanger! Measure four inches down from the knots you created in Step 3. Take two strings that are next to each other and tie them together like in picture 7 and repeat three more times (Picture 8).
Step 5: Create second set of knots
In this step you’ll do the same knots from above, however, leave the first and the last string to the sides for now. Measure five inches down from the knots created in Step 4. Tie the second and third string together, fourth and fifth, and sixth and seventh. When you finish these, then tie the first and last one together. This will create a circle so that your plant will be secure.
Step 6: Tie all knots together to create one large one for the base
Measure an inch down from the knots created in Step 5 and tie all the strings together. This will create a base to keep your plant from falling.
Step 7: Assemble beads
Assemble beads in whatever order you’d like. Tie the strings again at the base of your last bead, so they don’t fall.
You're finished!
