Hanging Rope Planter

how to build a plant shelf

This hanging rope planter channels a boho and modern farmhouse vibe at the same time. Using materials you likely already have tucked away at home—rope and wood—this hanging plant pot holder is easy to make. We created this project with room for three pots, but you can cut the wood to fit as many plants as you'd like, as long as the rope can hold its weight. Take the pots out of the hanger to water them—give them a soak in the sink and let them drain before placing them in the shelf.
