Mini Macrame Plant Hanger

I don’t know two crafting trends that are more popular right now than succulents and macrame. I’m mixing the two together with this super easy macrame plant hanger that can be crafted in just minutes! I decided to use an artificial succulent because I’m terrible at keeping real plants alive but using real succulents is definitely an option if you’re a better gardener than I am. In fact, there are so many different ways you can customize this project including swapping out the cement planter for a terra cotta pot or choosing jute string for more of a natural look. Regardless of the changes you do or do not make to your easy macrame plant hanger, I can guarantee that you’re going to love hanging this piece where you can see it all the time!

Easy-Macrame-Plant-Hanger-Darice-1Easy Macrame Plant Hanger Supplies:

  • Darice Cement Planter Pot
  • Darice Nylon Cord
  • Styrofoam Ball
  • Darice Artificial Succulent Multipack
  • Jewelry Designer Split Rings

Easy-Macrame-Plant-Hanger-Darice-2Step 1. Unravel the entire length of nylon cord for two different colors. Cut each cord in half so that you have four cords, two of each color.

Easy-Macrame-Plant-Hanger-Darice-3Step 2. Fold the cords in half and loop through the key chain. Pull the ends of the cords through the loop and tighten to secure around the key ring. You should now have 8 cords hanging down.

Easy-Macrame-Plant-Hanger-Darice-4Step 3. Begin by grabbing two of the same colored cords and tie a knot about 8″ down from the key ring. If you’re choosing to use succulents that are bigger than the ones I used, you may need your knots to be lower to give the added height more room.

Easy-Macrame-Plant-Hanger-Darice-5Step 4. Continue adding knots until you’ve got four pairs of the same colored cords.

Easy-Macrame-Plant-Hanger-Darice-6Step 5. Add another set of knots about 4″ down from the first ones but this time, pull one cord from each set. You should have two different colors for each knot. Finish by tying the first ribbon to the last ribbon to make a tube shape.

Easy-Macrame-Plant-Hanger-Darice-7Step 6. Finish your easy macrame plant hanger by tying off all the cords together in one large knot about 2″ below the last set.

Easy-Macrame-Plant-Hanger-Darice-8Step 7. Place the planter into the macrame holder and set aside while you work on succulents.

Easy-Macrame-Plant-Hanger-Darice-9Step 8. Grab a piece of Styrofoam that fits in the cement planter and nicely arrange your succulents at the top. I went with all one type of succulent but you could also mix it up a bit!

Easy-Macrame-Plant-Hanger-Darice-10Step 9. Once you’re happy with the look of the succulents, add a bit of hot glue to the bottom of the planter and press the Styrofoam ball in place.

Easy-Macrame-Plant-Hanger-Darice-11Step 10. Your easy macrame plant hanger is complete! I used mug hooks to hang mine from the side of a window but there are tons of ways to show off your super cute new mini planter.

Easy-Macrame-Plant-Hanger-Darice-12Feeling creative and want to customize this a bit? Why not try different strings or add some color to the cement planter with paint! Remember, if you’re blessed with a green thumb, you can also adapt this tutorial to use with real succulents.

Easy-Macrame-Plant-Hanger-Darice-13I love this modern take on macrame and can’t wait to make a ton of these as gifts for myself and my friends. Hope you have fun making some of your own!
