ExTex24 Boho Macrame Plant Hanger

ABOUT

This beginner's macramé workshop is for anyone looking to invite more gentle flow into their life, and maybe fall in love with a craft that opens moments of solitude, silence and mindful rhythm.

What you’ll learn

• 5 basic macramé knots (square knot, spiral knot (or half square knot), lark’s head knot, 4 cord braid, wrap knot)
• An easier way of measuring cord length for future plant hanger projects
• How to secure ends or prevent fraying while knotting or incorporating beads
• How to adjust tension for basket section depending on the plant pot size/ shape

 What’s included

• All yarn needed to make your 70cm - 1m in length plant hanger (4mm 3 ply cotton yarn in either natural undyed or dyed natural ecru with optional colour yarn for the accent wrap knot )
• Use of wood handled latch hooks and all necessary tools for easy knot fastening
• Take home course notes with the pattern you made and tips for modification

 What’s not included but required to bring

•   Your pot of choice - this is not provided because preference for this is so specific. I recommend:
•    A basic ceramic or terracotta pot measuring max 18cm in height and 20cm for top rim diameter. A straight sided or tapered pot is somewhat easier to create the basket tension for, but a rounded pot can definitely also be used. Ideally no holes in the pot for ease of watering (best to place container with holes holding your plant inside your decorative pot)
•  Scissors
• Snacks  - knot making is energy consuming!

All other materials will be provided
