Macramé plant holders: 11 accessories for decorating your home in an original way
What can we do when we want to get another plant for the home but there is no space for it? Well, you could consider hanging it up. You can get some cord, a plastic basket and some hooks and hang up the plants using these implements. But you can also go one step further and take advantage of this opportunity to be more creative.
For example, you could use hanging plant holders made in macramé. These are decoratively braided rope supports/harnesses which, by following some simple online tutorials, you can make yourself. Take a look below at how many macramé hangers you can buy and/or make with your own hands.
With this type of hanging support, you take up less space in the room than you would with a shelf, and they are decidedly nicer to look than just a simple plastic container.
Macramé for a simple and colorful plant holder
The simplest projects are the ones which start with vases that are already beautiful in themselve and, which we don't want to cover with a "harness". In this case, the macramé should be created with an open weave. And of course, you can decorate using wooden beads or similar objects.
To enrich the decoration and if you want to leave the vase visible, you can focus on working on the upper strap that holds everything. This way, the beauty of your vase remains visible for all to see.
Double macrame plant holders
If you like the idea of having an entire column of plants in your home, then you can consider choosing a multiple plant holder, where a macrame piece can hold multiple pots. If possible, include a saucer to collect drips from the plants when they are watered (and which will also protect the ropes from getting dirty too quickly).
Combination of colors and macramé work
Usually, macramé harnesses are mostly made using white or beige rope, but nothing prevents you from opting for multi-toned color combinations which might suit your home better.
One idea, a thousand shapes
The elaborate workmanship of some macrame creations can be very beautiful to look at and admire. Combining various models will tranform areas of your home!
Macramé baskets for plants
There are macramé techniques that will allow you to create more robust plant holder, with a defined shape: macrame baskets, for example. These are hung up as normal and can accomodate larger plants.
Obviously, you have to pay attention to the hook that will support all the weight: when you install a hook, remember that the macrame piece will weigh more when the plant/s are watered.
For this reason, it is usually preferable to select plants like succulents - that do not need frequent watering - in combination with macrame holders.
