Leather hanging planters are easy to manufacture, but look very original. Add some style to your home interior along with this wonderful leather planter. It can definitely become exactly the highlight that makes the interior unique.
Necessary materials:
Step 1: Preparation and placement
Print out the hanger plant template on tracing paper. Lay the template down on the wrong side of the leather and select perfect place placement (not too close to the sides, and to avoid any imperfections in the skin).
Step 3: Soften the skin
Dip the sponge into the purified water, and then evenly apply moisture to the skin. Repeat this step at least three times until the skin looks like it cannot accept more water. This will soften the skin, and facilitate our work on weaving pots.
Step 4: Template transfer
Now place the template in the place you selected earlier and tape it on the sides so as not to move to the side. With a simple pencil direct the lines printed on the tracing paper by pressing the pencil with medium force. Be careful and don't miss any line.
Step 5. Cutting
Now peel off the template from the skin to see how the design has transferred to the surface of the skin. Using a utility knife, make cuts in place of the lines.
For convenience, you can first cut a circle along the outer contour. The cuts should be clearly drawn along the drawn lines.
Step 6. Coloring
Note: This step is optional, depending on the desired color and materials at hand. In our case, we dyed the skin dark brown.
After the skin is dry from moisturizing (at least one hour), apply the desired dye. Apply the paint with a sponge (wearing gloves) until the desired effect is achieved.
As the skin dries, pull it back a little to give it a voluminous shape. You will start to see the skin deform, keep going pulling and stretching it to create the shape of the pot as it should be when finished.
Step 8: Hang Up
Step 9: Decorate and Mount
Add tassels, beads, rivets- everything that is necessary to achieve the desired style in the end. At the top of the hanging cords, gather all four of them together and tie into a knot.
You can use this knot to hook onto a ceiling hook and/or ring. See if the length of the pendant suits you, if necessary, tie the knot at a different level.
This planter will suit the interior with innovative notes. Transform and complete your home decor with their neon cocktail straws and strings. And for this, even 15 minutes will be enough for you!
Step 1: Cut the threads
Cut eight pieces of neon cord, each 90-150 cm long, depending on how close to the ceiling you want to place the pots.
Step 2: Making a Knot
Take the newly cut threads together and tie a knot at one end, resulting in a tassel from a small excess of cord at one end.
Step 3: Divide the threads into sections
Lay out the rope in four sections (similar to the shape of a cross). That is, two ropes in each section.
Step 4: Cut the Straws
Add a third and final set of straws to the strands and tie adjacent strands (similar to the previous set).
Step 5: Hang Up
It remains only to hang the pots and insert a flowerpot with indoor flowers into it. Make a few pieces, then together they will create a beautiful composition.
And neon straws will also glow a little at night, which will look very original.
The macrame technique has, probably, the most variations in the manufacture of planters. They can be very simple, which can be done in just 10-15 minutes with your own hands, or complex with many hours of work. Practice weaving first on the lungs, hone your skills, and then improve.
Macrame is back in fashion, as is needlework in general. In this master class, you will learn how to make a hanging planter with your own hands using this technique. There is nothing complicated, just follow the instructions and you will succeed!
Necessary materials:
Step-by-step instruction:
Step 1: Thread the ropes into the ring
Pull all three ropes through the metal ring until the ring is in the middle of the ropes. Thus, you now have six ropes to work with, each 1.25 m long.
Step 2: Making a Knot
Step 3: Divide the Cords into Groups
Repeat the previous step with the rest of the ropes so that they are all tied together. This will create a zigzag pattern between the cords.
Step 4: End Node
Step 5: Planting Indoor Flowers
At the bottom of the glass pot, place stones for drainage to make a layer about 2.5 cm high. Fill the rest of the bowl with soil.
Here are a few more schemes for those who want to master the weaving of macrame. They are very simple - suitable even for beginners. Look at the photo and repeat. A clothesline or thin twine is perfect as a material. The minimum consumption for a hanging planter is 10 meters of rope.
The tree also gives a fairly wide range of actions, various shapes, colors. Choose what you like best and create.
This hanging planter will wonderfully complement your home interior. It is done quickly and simply, the materials also will not take a lot of money. The best solution for an apartment.
Necessary materials:
Step-by-step manufacturing scheme:
Step 1: Making Wooden Squares
Consider how many tiers your flower stand will have ( there are 4 of them, but you can do more or less ). Choose the houseplants you want to place there.
Based on this, cut out from a wooden plate right amount squares.
Step 2: Making holes for the pots
Step 3: Hanging Holes
At the corners of the squares you need to make holes for the rope so that they can be hung. To do this, use drill with a diameter of up to 1 cm.
Step 4: Paint the Tree
By using sandpaper remove the roughness and irregularities that have formed after sawing and drilling. Now the tree can be painted or simply treated with an antiseptic. IN this case dark brown paint was used.
Step 5: Paint the Pots
Pots can also be painted, if desired. Sloppy strokes of white paint look good on plain clay pots. This step can be skipped. 
Step 6: Putting it all together
In order to fasten the wooden squares together, we need a thick rope: cut 4 ropes of 180 cm each (for a given number of tiers). Pull one rope into each corner hole of one of the squares and tie a knot at the end, this will be the lower part of the structure.
Tie one more on each rope. knot at 25-30 cm above the previous one and thread the ropes into the holes of the next square. Check that everything is even, and the second tier is clearly horizontal above the first, correct the knots if necessary. The second tier is ready. Repeat these steps for the remaining tiers. 
Step 7: Plant Your Plants
A practical advantage of this hanging stand is that the water that may flow down after watering from the top plant will drip onto the bottom one. So a pot stand is needed only on the lowest tier (if you use it outdoors, you can do without stands at all).
You can also put coffee filters or similar absorbent materials in the bottom of the pots, so that water can flow out, but the earth will not fall out through the hole.
TIP: To prevent the bottom pot from falling out of the stand if someone accidentally catches the rope, glue it to the pot with superglue.
Step 8: Transplant the plants into prepared pots.
If you glue the base of the lower pot before inserting it into the wooden square, it will turn out like in the photo below. If you want the bottom pot to be inserted into the tree in the same way as the rest, then first transplant the plants, insert the pots into the holes in the tree, and only then glue the stand to the bottom one. 
Step 9: Hang Up
Such a stand is good, just do not forget that the flowers need a sufficient amount of light.
A hanging stand is a wonderful solution for those who love flowers but don't have enough space to place them.
The manufacturing principle is similar to that described in the previous master class, only copper tubes are used here (and they fold into a slightly different pattern). Of course, these materials will be more expensive than straws, and cutting them is not so fast, but in general there is no difficulty, and it turns out beautifully and with high quality. 
TIP: If desired, copper pipes can be replaced with plastic straws for cocktails
Step 1: Cut the tubes
You need to cut the tube into the following pieces: 20 pieces 4 cm long and 5 pieces 24 cm long. Cut long pieces first, and then small ones, it will be more convenient. Use a measuring tape for measurements.
Step 2: Start folding the tubes
Tie a knot at one end of the fishing line, and thread the other through 5 small pieces of the tube so that you get a pentagon (that is, the line must be passed through the first piece of the tube twice).
Step 3: Continue making pentagons with small tubes
Here's what should happen:
Pass the line through 2 more tubes, and then through the edge of the pentagon, as in the photo below. It should look something like a flower, or rather like this:
Step 4: Stringing Long Tubes
Step 5: Attaching the Leather Cord
Cut about 30 cm of leather cord and attach it to the connection point of the long tubes. You can tie a knot, but here for aesthetics they used hot glue, fastening them neatly bent end of the cord. Here's what it looks like:
To hide the glued area, cut another small piece of cord, secure with hot glue, and wrap around the cord to hang from.
Trim off excess line and cord. And the last step: plant your favorite houseplants!
Moreover, in summer, plants can be placed both inside and outside the house, but since it is cold now, we will focus on home ones. You can green any room of the apartment, kitchen or hallway, the main thing is to take into account the needs of plants, the right amount of light.

When choosing a ceramic planter, you should pay attention to the presence of a drainage hole, as well as to the outer coating.
Unglazed clay retains porosity, which improves the microclimate inside the pot, but reduces the durability of flower pots. When watering tap water sloppy stains may appear on the walls. Outside the house, the tank threatens with destruction:
