The 4-Knot Wonder
You only need two things: natural cotton cord and a wooden ring.
- Cut 4 long pieces of cotton cord (about 2 yards each).
- Fold them all in half, loop them through the wooden ring, and tie a large knot at the top. You now have 8 cords hanging down.
- Divide the 8 cords into 4 pairs. Tie a simple knot in each pair about 15 inches down from the top.
- Now, take one cord from a pair, and tie it to the neighboring cord from the next pair, about 4 inches down. Repeat this in a circle to create a “basket” for your pot.
- Tie one final, large knot at the very bottom with all 8 cords to secure the base.
Slip your favorite fern or trailing plant pot into the center, hang it by a sunny window, and enjoy the cozy vibe. Have you ever tried macramé?
