I wanted to hang the plant in the corner of my living room but I didn't have a plant hanger. In the 70's I used to macrame plant hangers so I thought I would make one. I haven't made one for like 25 years, when I sat down to make it I had a big blank and just stared at the cording not know how in the world to start. When I made them in my 20's I could make them with my eyes closed, lol, so I was really frustrated! I saw some on line already made for as low as $5.99 but I refused to buy one even if they were giving them away for free! I can make these I just know everything will come back to me! I typed in macrame plant hanger instructions and read it over and yessssss, it all came back. So on January 1st, 2009 I revisited the 70's and made this plant hanger. I wanted the knots loose to look lacy. I think it came out pretty good!
Now I just need to figure out what to do with the pot, get a new
one or cover this one?

Very pretty! All ya need is a cq pot cover! ROFLOL!!! Seriously.... great job! I can't remember how to macrame'! LOL!!
Wow...is this a blast from the past. I used to make and sell macrame hangers in the 70's. I dyed my own jute, burned it with a blow torch for effect, etc. etc.
What a fun piece of new nostalgia you have there!
This is a blast from the past, Jill! I used to love doing macrame back in the day. Very nice plant too!

Beautiful Jill! Looks like once you found the info you had no problem makeing one.
I used to make a lot of those in the 70's too. I loved the 70's so thanks for the memories.
Thank you ladies for your super comments! I was so happy when it came back, when you did something so easily in the past and then forget how, it sure is a bummer! lol. I love google for memory jogging! lol
