DIY Plant Hanger

October 11, 2013 by Ashley Mayes 8 Comments

Isn’t that little plant so cute? I’ve been eyeing hanging plants for quite some time and finally got around to getting one. I found the container (actually 3 of them) at a garage sale for $2. They are just plastic, but I really liked the design so I bought them. From there, I headed to the supermarket and bought a cute, low maintenance plant. I think it was $2.99. I used some lightweight rope to make the hanging net and that was about it. You can find some instructions here to make a similar hanging net. I peeked around the internet for hangers and then just winged it. I should have taken pictures, but I didn’t. So, see the above link if you would like to make one.

The project breakdown was:

1 container – $.67

Soil – Free (already had on hand)

Plant – $2.99

String – $1.99

= $5.65

I’m thinking about adding two more (different plants) staggered at different heights. What do you guys think? If so, should I use the same pots or different ones to mix/match?

Oh, and if you follow me on Instagram then you saw a preview of this:

Yep, we are actually getting ready to dig in on the flooring. Fun times ahead!

    LOVE it! And you should definitely do three at different heights. I think you could do same pots (since you already have them on hand!) or different and it would look good either way. Excited to see you diving into the floor, can’t wait to see that tile down! I just know you are going to miss that carpet! LOL

      I think you convinced me on the planters. I might wait until we get the tile down and a hamper in there, but then I will get a move on. I’ve wanted that carpet out since we moved in. This weekend it will be gone!

    love it – reminds me of my mom’s macrame plant hanger from the seventies we had in our house my entire childhood (that’s a good thing BTW – I loved it) 🙂
