This is where we started, ugly, torn up, coco liner and left over dead plant... haha. These originally came from dollar tree, you get the basket for $1 and the liner for $1, I easily could just go get a new liner, but honestly they start looking so fluffy and worn out half way through the summer that I’d rather just save my $1!
I had some left over macrame cord in the craft room so I started brain storming!
That is all you will need for this project!
1 hanging basket from dollar tree
macrame cord of your choosing! I had grey and white on hand, these are synthetic but you could use cotton if you want!
Have a question about this project?
How much cording did you use and what were the approx. Measurements of the wire frame! I love this project.
Oh goodness. I didn’t measure the cording, but I can get the basket dimensions for you!
Love it. Would make a great fruit/veggie hanging basket in kitchen, or in bath for whatever. I’m gonna try this.
What a wonderful job you have done. My one thought is, however; do you have a drip saucer, or similar under the pot-plant? Unless you take the plant out of the hanger to water, and then make sure the pot is not dripping when you put the pot back. Unless you have such a 'saucer' or such, I would imagine that the water will soon destroy the integrity of the macrame - either soiling, or rotting. Which would be a shame. Nevertheless; a magic job.
I used synthetic cording and there’s a big hole in the bottom of the basket, I’m no too concerned with weathering, it’s part of having plants :) dirt happens :) I have more traditional macrame hangers made of the same cord going strong after years :)glad you liked it!
