Macrame Wall Planter | Macrame Planter Hanger | Beginner Tutorial
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Learn to make a macrame wall plant hanger using larks head knots, alternating square knots, double clove hitch knots and a gathering knot.
Materials:
Stick or dowel rod (about 19 in or 48 cm)
3mm single strand cotton string (16 strings at about 165 in or 419 cm)
Scissors
Plant pot
Directions:
1. Cut a piece of string to about 18-20 inches or 46-51 cm. Tie the string to each end of your stick or dowel rod with a double knot. You can also hot glue this knot to the stick for extra security.
2. Cut 16 pieces of string to about 165 inches or 419 cm. Attach each string to the stick with a larks head knot.
3. Use all the strings to create a row of eight square knots.
4. Leave out two strings on each side to create a row of 7 square knots.
5. Leave out four strings on each side to create a row of 6 square knots.
6. Leave out six strings on each side to create a row of 5 square knots.
7. Leave out eight strings on each side to create a row of 4 square knots.
8. Leave out ten strings on each side to create a row of 3 square knots.
9. Leave out twelve strings on each side to create a row of two square knots.
10. Create one final square knot in the center.
11. Use the right most string to create a line of diagonal clove hitch knots toward the center of the triangle.
12. Use the left most string to create a line of diagonal clove hitch knots toward the center of the triangle.
13. Make one last diagonal clove hitch knot to close the triangle.
14. Make a row of square knots underneath the diagonal clove hitch knots.
15. Make one additional square knot in the center.
16. Create another row of diagonal clove hitch knots on each side and close in the center.
17. Bring the right most string and the left most string around to the front and center of the design to be the filler strings for the first square knot. Bring the second string on the right and the second string on the left around as the working strings on the first square knot. Form a square knot.
18. Bring the third and fourth strings on the right around to create a square knot underneath and to the right of the first square knot.
19. Bring the third and fourth strings on the left around to create a square knot underneath and to the left of the first square knot.
20. Create a row of three square knots by bringing around the fifth and sixth strings on the left and right.
21. Create a row of four square knots by bringing around the seventh and eighth strings on either side.
22. Create a row of three square knots underneath the previous row by leaving out two strings on either side.
23. Create a row of two square knots by leaving out four strings on either side.
24. Create one square knot in the center to complete the diamond.
25. Cut a piece of string to about 24 inches or 61 cm. Use this string to create a gather knot.
26. Trim the fringe to the desired length.

I haven’t done macramé since the early 70’s. Your tutorial really helped me figure out the pot holding part. Thank you so much!

Loved this! Such a detailed video! 🤗 But way too much cord at the bottom. Wasted at least a couple of feet at the bottom bangs.
By far the BEST instructional video I’ve seen on macrame. I love that you showed the beginning of each step and did so on both sides (which can be confusing). Thank you!!!!

Made one of these today having watched another KZreadr’s video and found it left out some crucial steps that left me having to sort of figure it out on my own. Found your video and it was so thorough and exactly what I needed to be prepared for the next time I make this plant holder (tomorrow!) Such a great video, thanks for sharing! 🧡

Maybe the length allows for choosing a larger planter size and the length of space it will hang from the top. Adjust to your preference.

This was a great tutorial, thank you! I will have to join the chorus of people saying the string length is WAY too long, though! I repeated the top pattern an extra time, and STILL each string could have comfortably been a metre shorter. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather that than them being too short, but I feel like I wasted an awful lot of cord. Still produced a beautiful hanger, though!
👌👌👌

Excellent teacher - excellent project. I wish I had seen your videos when I first learned to macrame. The only question I have is "Why do we have so much waste at the end?" I have 3 feet to cut off, even with a generous fringe at the bottom.
@RachelColton
4 жыл бұрын
Thank you! The extra string could be a result of variations in the thickness of different brands of strings or a difference in the length between the bottom of the triangle and the diamond at the front. It’s always tricky to estimate how much you will need for any given project but if you make more than one you can always adjust the length. There are also some great projects to make with smaller pieces such as earrings or keychains or tassels!

You could do any plant. Low light plants would probably work best unless you can get it close to a window. Something with hanging vines would look good or even a succulent.
Why oh why didnt I read the comments before making this! Beautiful but so much extra string haha. Leave off like 20 inches each strand at least if you make it too ❤

You’re welcome! I’d recommend either screwing into a wall stud or using some sort of heavy duty drywall anchor such as a toggle bolt or molly bolt.
TYSM for this video! if i wanted to make it just a bit skinnier and smaller (for a mason jar), would you just take off a strand on each side or would this mess up the whole equation?
Thank you for the very detailed tutorial 🙏🏾. I’m a beginner and very confused. You mentioned on the second row of square nots to alternate leaving two strings out at each end. However, I’m not sure whether I’m supposed to include those two strings on the left side as I’m going right to left. I’ve started over 5 times to get this diamond shape 😩🙏🏾
@RachelColton

Ugh! I’m sorry you are having trouble. Are you referring to the inverted triangle shape at the top of the design? Leave out two strings on both sides in the second row to form alternating square knots. In the next row, leave out four strings on both sides and so on until you have a triangle. Does that make sense?

Hi dear, can I have an opinion? First I want to thank you for taking the time to teach us your work. But for those who didn't know anything like me about macrame, it's tiring to watch every move you make and to listen takes time to learn. It would be much more interesting for you to show us how it is done just by showing the points, slowly and without talking so much because for any layperson to see how it is done, that is enough. Other people here on youtube do this and that's how I learned. And I'm still learning. Unfortunately others show very fast, but I think it is for those who are not beginners. The look also makes us learn without needing too much blah blah blah. lol Don't be upset because it's just my opinion ok? Your works are very beautiful and if you continue to teach us it will be very good A hug

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’ve had many people comment that they appreciate the verbal instructions but perhaps I will try making a video in the future that is wordless. Or you could mute me 😆!
Done. The problem is: if im using a small pot, the ropes are too long and its unstable. If using a large pot, it holds it perfectly, but is pushed away from the wall. But lovely craft. Loved it. :) (is there any way to make it more complex so the pot cant slip through easily between two threads?)

You could create more of a traditional netting at the bottom like the one I use in my other plant hanger video. You create a net using square knots. That will hold the pot more securely.

Hi Rachel, I've just started making this, and I'm trying to do the math. I want to make it slightly wider to accommodate my pot width. How many extra pieces would I need to add to keep the shape and pattern, just wider? I did the math that I could and determined I would need two extra on each side, I think, so a total of 20 strings. Does that sound correct? Would I need to add four extra pieces for every added bit of thickness to keep the pattern even?
@RachelColton

Yes that sounds right. You need to keep the number of strings even to make the alternating square knot pattern. You could add one extra string to each side or two or more!

Great tutorial and cute planter. Wish I hadn’t cut 165in. Wasteful. I even added a bunch of extra knots and left areas long to use up my string and still have about 48in to cut off at the end. Also my stick is only 9in (not 19) and is plenty big enough.

Apologies for the very late reply. The top diameter is about 5 inches. The height is about 4.5 inches. And the bottom diameter is about 3.75 inches. You can accommodate any size pot by adjusting the length of the string that comes around to make the knots in the front and by adjusting where you form the gathering knot at the bottom.
