DIY How to Make a Macrame Plant Hanger

-

selfmade macrame 

I want to share with you how to make a macrame plant hanger yourself. I started to make them last year because I needed some for my hanging plants, and it's also a good way if you have a small apartment. It makes your apartment look more beautiful in my opinion and it is better than a hanging basket plant made of metal or plastic.

Making a hanger is very easy. What we need are a macrame cord, scissors and a potted plant. Usually, I choose a neutral color for the macrame cord. How long you choose your cord depends on how big your plant pot is. Normally, for my big plant pots, it's enough that the length of the cord is as long as your outstretched arms. In this article, I show you the simplest way to do it. Let's begin.






Steps:
1. Cut three cords with the same length. Cut each in half but
keep them as pairs. Tie the pairs together at one end. This knot forms the bottom of the hanger. Put your plant pot on the knot to make sure it fits.

2. Then tie a knot in each pair of cords. The knots should be positioned at the middle of the plant pot, as you can see in the picture.

3. After that, you add second knots to your cord pairs. This time a little bit higher than the plant pot.

4. In the end, you make a final knot at the top, then put your plant pot into it again. Voila. That's it.

step 1step 1step 2step 3step 4

If you want to make it a little more challenging, you can add a new variation as you see in the picture. I made four equal cords and multiplied in three. The number of cords can be adjusted to your liking. I always make it differently, sometimes 3x4, 3x3, or 4x3. I love it when the bottom knot doesn't have the same length.

I hope it's clear enough. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Stay healthy!
Xoxo, Rita

Weekly Market

the elder lady was very nice, I took the picture in 2016 When I was in my hometown, my family and I would often visit the weekly market nearby, just a 10-minute walk away. As a kid, the excitement of going there, regardless of whether I bought anything, always filled me with joy. The journey to the market was particularly enjoyable, especially the path through the lush green rice fields. Occasionally, I'd spot plants being devoured by numerous caterpillars, a sight I had to avoid due to my fear of them. the view to the traditional market near me Once we passed the green rice fields, the entrance to the market would come into view. Numerous vendors lined the market, offering a variety of goods, fresh produce from local farmers, fashion items, music, and more. During my visits, I'd often indulge in fresh juice or traditional Indonesian sweets. Sometimes, I'd run into friends or family unexpectedly, and we'd head back home together. If I accompanied my mom, we'd often

A Letter to Widji Thukul

This post was first published in Indonesian on January 30th, 2019, click  here !  Widji …  You have made a huge impact! Your words will never ever be forgotten. Your spirit will live on in the lives of many Indonesians that want change. Two weeks ago, on that night, my friends and I had the opportunity to read out your poems and watch your movie, ‘’Istirahatlah Kata-Kata’’ (Solo, Solitude) based on you and your sojourn where it indeed did not depict any violence.  Nevertheless, the words you expressed in your poems moved me to tears. When the movie was nearly finished, although, tears were running down my face, I refused to go to the bathroom because immediately my friends and I were about to read out your poems to many people after the movie ended. That’s why I didn’t want to wipe the mascara on my eyelashes. I would probably look like a black-eyed ghost if I wipe my eyes. I’m indeed foolish at times. Finally, we went to front and prepared ourselves to read your
