Plant hangers, bottle hangers, candle hangers...



I feels like it's been too long since I last posted.
Here's some variations on the net hangers I've been meaning to show you.

These net hangers can be adapted to hang most anything, of any size, provided it doesn't have a prominent lip or bulge at the bottom.

A couple rules/tips that will help you adapt the instructions:


  •  always have an even number of strands with no less than six strands per hanger.
  • if you want to make the knots closer together, to make the hanger look more like a net, add more pairs of cord strands or it won't fit your pot.  The closer the knots are together, the smaller the circumference of pot they will fit.
  • add a final row of knots about 8" above your pot rim and 10" above your last row of knots to add stability.  This wil keep your pot from falling out of the hanger even if it's swung violently, like, say, if your cat tries to get at it.
  • use heavier gauges of cord to hang heavier objects.  This type of hanger can be made with everything from embroidery floss to rope, depending on what your hanging but, please, be reasonable.

Here's some of the projects I've been making:


Enjoy and happy making!
