Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Measure and Cut the Cord
Cut four pieces of cord, each about 4 feet long. Adjust the length depending on how low you want your hanger to drop.
2. Knot and Thread
Fold the cords in half and tie a knot at the fold to create a loop for hanging. Then divide the cords into pairs and add your beads.
Tip: Use painter’s tape to stiffen cord ends if threading is tricky.
3. Make Support Knots
About halfway down, take neighboring cords and tie knots. Repeat to form a net for the plant pot.
4. Final Knot
Once your pot sits snugly, tie all cords together at the base. Trim excess and neaten ends.
