DIY Hanging Planter by abc 🌞 def DIY Hanging Planter Materials & Tools Thin nylon or cotton rope/string (at least 40 feet long) Plant Bowl or planter with holes for drainage Scissors Plant hook (optional) Carefully cut your string into eight different 5-foot long pieces. Knot the strings together in one large “master” knot at the bottom, leaving at least 2 inches of string at the bottom.Separate the loose pieces of rope into four sections, with two pieces of rope in each section. The master knot and excess string should sit in the center of these pieces.Starting with a single section of string, knot the two pieces of rope together, about an inch above the large master knot. Repeat with the remaining three sections. Smooth out your rope so that you have four clearly defined sections that are in the shape of a plus sign. Take the left piece of one section and knot it to the right piece of the next section, roughly 1 inch above the knot you just tied in the previous step. Repeat with the remaining three sections. You should now have a square shape around your master knot. Smooth this out so you have four clear sections of remaining string to work with.Repeat with the remaining four sections, knotting the left piece of one section to the right piece of the next section. Make these knots roughly one inch above the previous knots.Smooth out the shape & u’ll see u have enough room to place ur plant in the center. Place ur plant in the bowl or planter & place it directly in the center of ur ropes. Carefully lift up each side of the hanging planter to ensure it’s placed evenly around the plant to support it while it hangs.Knot the remaining long strings at the top at your desired hanging length and cut off any excess. Hang from an existing hook or in your window to enjoy.
