I had a macrame adventure yesterday. I bought some glass containers from the thrift store this week. Each costing $0.50 like this one.
I love this candle holder with the cracked glass.
Here are my mini containers soon to be plant holders.
One very cute succulent for $5 and I was good to go!
I started with the green container. I added lark knots to a strip of jute.
I tied the strip of jute around the rim of the green glass container then added single knots to the jute to wrap the container. So darn easy!
I then tied the jute ends into a sing knot then added hangers. I took part of my succulent and planted it into the container. Cute!
I also wrapped the rim with a length of jute. And it was done in a jiffy!
Next I added a jute macrame hanger to the cracked glass container then planted part of the succulent. I love this container. It looks so elegant!
I used a wooden ring for hanging the planter then a bead and some square knots. Then used single knots to create the basket part of the hanger. I then knotted all the loose cords at the bottom. Easy peasy!
And then I ran out of jute. So I have one more to do once I have more jute then I'm gifting these to friends. They're really sweet. And simple to make!
Yay for macrame! It really is a ton of fun and looks awesome!
Meanwhile I bought this bag of metal cookie cutters for $0.50. What a score! I love the duck and fish cutters... Perfect for crafting!
Happy Saturday everyone!
