A knot can be tied in the hanger if the plant hangs to low.

Clever idea, takes me back. Used to make macrame rope type plant hangers. Don't think my hands would hold up to using jute these days.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I might have to do some for my plants :) Thanks for sharing the pattern.
ReplyDeleteVery clever idea!! I remember making these out of macrame many years ago, but they didn't look as good as yours!
