As a homeschooling mom, I fully recommend researching different knotting techniques online to teach to your children. They are a very important technique to know and can be used for lots of things. I have linked to a few that I used in the making of my plant hanger but there are lots more out there. Boy scout handbooks (which can be found at thrift stores) is a good place to start if you want something handy in book form to refer to while doing your projects but there are lots of internet resources which can be printed out. I would love to see what you end up making. And most importantly- Have fun!

Hey there! We are going to try to do some macrame this year in our homeschooling! I was looking for a site with the instructions for a simple plant holder, and have been inspired!
Thanks,
Bridgit

OOOPS!

Thanks for pointing out my mistake MrB. That should have read “cut 8 very long pieces”. It is possible to do this with more strings; the final product will just be thicker.

So, 16 cords through the ring half way, then make sure the ends meet. You’ve essentially folded them over and now have 32 cords. Tough to do 4 groups of 4 with 32. Any suggestions?

Dawn I so enjoyed your website and comments as to how one project encouraged another. Because that’s exactly how ideas come to me. I began twiling short time ago wondered how I would use it – so much fun decorating boxes ie round raisin boxes that I cover w/contact paper and apply twilling designs – plan to use as gifts filled w/cookies & candy – also realised it makes interesting designs on gift boxes instead of the common ribbon. What got my attention in your comments is that you also make jewlery. I have a lot of pretty loose beads some turquoise which I bought w/the idea of making necklaces. Can you give me some ideas to get my imagination started as I’ve never tried jewlery but know it would be a fun project. I’m 85 w/a very bad back condition which forces me to sit most of the time and I’m looking for fun projects. I also do silk flr. arranging but that becomes expensive and there are just so many one can use. I know in spite of the age difference we would be friends if we knew one another as that was the feeling I got from reading your comments and I’d love a reply to this email.

So glad to have found your link on here. I used to macrame in the 70′s and did just about everything and loved it so much.
Now am older, of course, and have forgotten some of the knots, etc. I was desperately for plant hanger directions and have found yours. Thank you so much!!!
Haven’t tried it yet but will in a few hours.
Thanks so much for all your information.
I live in Aylesford, Nova Scotia, Canada

Take care, and thanks for such a wonderful site.

I’m trying to find books on macrame hangers and the cord. I’m not having much luck. Ihaven’t had any luck on e-bay or I can’t find any stores that carry them or the cord.

Thanks
