Knot it
- Tie cord or rope into macramé planter hangers! One simple
technique makes any size. Paint terracotta pots with matt acrylic paints
then suspend them in the hangers. Place plastic-potted plants with saucers
into the pots then water sparingly, as needed. Yes, macramé is back!

Screw it
- Showcase your macramé on a DIY plant stand. Stain four 1.8m
lengths and one 1.2m length of 64 x 19mm dressed pine and let dry.
Pair 1.8m lengths and mark 450mm from an end. Predrill with a long
drill bit. Use a 10g x 100mm wood screw each side, putting screw
through a screw cap washer first and inserting a metal washer between
legs. Place the 1.2m cross-piece between pairs, splaying legs. Mark
and saw feet to level off. Predrill and screw twice through each leg into
cross-piece with 35mm screws, again putting screws through screw
cap washers. Press on screw caps. Use S hooks to hang planters.
